CoffeeCup Flash Photo Gallery creates image gallery for a website. It supports all major image formats. No HTML or Flash knowledge required.

Pros: CoffeeCup Flash Photo Gallery creates sophisticated and completely customized photo galleries for a website. The process starts with specifying a input folder. One could separate the images in the folder into several albums. Individual photos can have captions and the necessary tools are available in the application. It supports all major image formats from .GIF, .JPG, .PNG, .BMP and more.

The program optimizes the images to the right size while loading individually. Sliding flash thumbnails are created simultaneously. Text styles, colors, sizes are parameters that can be played with to set a nice presentation tone to the album.

Themes and backgrounds create a completely customized look to the photo set. Colors, soundtracks can be selected and added to the gallery being created. There’s a set of mp3 tracks provided by the application, besides one can choose any other mp3 file for the same. Background color is chosen from a given palette. Once again, if you are not satisfied with this limited range, click on the more colors option to chose any RGB combination to create the background color. Text opacity adds another dimension to the effects that can be created.

Once the galleries are created the programs makes it easy to upload to the target site. The code required to display the album is generated automatically. This then can be copied onto the clipboard and then onto the site where the album is going to be hosted.

The user interaction is straightforward and easy to use, settings are logically located and easy to learn.

Cons: Nothing problematic noticed.

Overall a well designed application. It is easy to use and equally easy to learn. Overall a definite 4 star category application.
