[wip] Gallery Concept

Ok, this is just a work-in progress and to see what people think. I have started to make a spymac-esque gallery with all the fancy image processing. What with only being able to put in an hour a night it's slow progress, a picture is attached of what the script can do so far, (yes, the borders don't match up near the corners. I've fixed it but it won't show until I make some new ones).

What I'd like to know is if anyone would use such a thing were i to release it (the whole gallery, not the image stuff), and what sort of features it should have when completed. It's being made using PHP5 and the bundled GD library. So far it supports png, gif and jpg file formats and random borders for the thumbnails. I plan to add support for tiff, bmp, psd and swf files.

Any comments or ideas for features?

nice man!!!

be carefull, GIF is no longer suported by GD, GIF as be statused as obselet...

I'm interested in how will you add support to PSD and SWF???

That's a nice idea, i made a galery engine but i minimized the image processing

(you can see it on my website http://www.kerin444.net/index.php?category=web#HomeGallery)

@ Ludge

I would love it!

It would make my upcomming wallpaper site a hell of a lot easier, It would also be cool if you make it open source, so if I want I can moddify the scripts....it will also begin ot give the project growth! :canadian:

It's OK. GD has read-only gif support so people can still upload them OK. PSD and swf shouldn't be hard. You just can't have a thumbnail of them, but the full size swf can be embedded, and the psd downloaded. In theory, audio and video could be embedded too.

Looks good... I've written something similar but not half as versatile.

#166564

looks nice but i would also recommend you release a version in which all the pictures are straight

I've already got fed up with the wonky images now. There is a config file where you can turn it on or off and adjust other settings. There will be a web-based interface for this when finished.

:woot: Very cool!! i've been looking for a gallery like that, also from the spymac site. They use more stuff then just dropshadows. The also have ducttape which i think they used AutoFX Dreamsuite to create. Check the picture below.

Awell as likeing the idea i stubled across this css dropshadows, which also look nice in my humble opinion..

check out the article

Onion Skinned Drop Shadows

and the example

Exmaple

Maybe you can do something with this info. I will be making a web gallery my self in asp somewhere in the near future...... when i get time.... if i ever get time... aaaaargh

Looking good mate. A professional advice would be to consider lowering the intensity of the shadows you are using. It's looking great, but would work better if the shadow were less strong. Give it a try.

Looking forward to see more.

Thanks for the kind words. The shadows aren't a problem, it supports many different shadows and can randomly select which one to use. I have only used the one. I have started bits again to build a more robust membership system. It also supports rudimentary skinning through CSS. The onion skinning is a very handy article, but i'm gonna stick with the image processing for this one. The gallery will be able to have duct tape and different styles of shadow/border/tape. I've just put a hold on it to build a session handler (wanted more than php's built in one can offer), permissions system and disk quota management. but here is a newer screenshot with a panther skin applied (ripped directly from the finder resources in fact :naughty: )
