Thread: JAlbum or Porta

I would like some comments on which presents better JAlbum or Porta - I have used both on my site
JAlbum http://www.movingon1.com/tripfotos.html here
Porta here http://www.movingon1.com/trip.html#august
before I add more pictures I would like some critiques many thanks
ann

Wow! what fabulous photo's Ann ....I like the Jalbum one ...but they are both equally good ...I just like the way the album looks in Jalbum nice a neat n tidy :o)

thanks - thats what i need to hear - Jalbum is a neater look, but i kind of like the map background - guess i could put it as a picture

Both look really good, but personally I like http://www.movingon1.com/shoshonefalls/album/index.html (Black one) album. It looks more professional & seems to change the images a better way. I like the way it names the image in the menu area as well. I am trying a few myself at the moment & just put a posting to this try out this photo album http://www.collectors-info.com/test.html The only thing! is its not a freebie ($39) So your two have an nice advantage. The one on the link above I put in an iframe so a site could be built around it?.

Good luck.

Chris

thanks for input - i like the idea of the free programs - porta is easier to do and uploads quicker - but jalbum looks good ann

I wish I knew which one was Jalbum or Porta?

Chris.

Thank-you, and I like JAlbum, makes a better presentation.

Ann you know I love Jablum BUT your Porta looks good BUT I like the organizational structure of JALBLUM better...<hate teh loading time though..lol>

its the loading time that makes me hesitate - but i think it looks neater - more neat? - will continue to fool around with it
thanks for all comments

The jalbum has a lot more polish that you could mimic on porta with a little work. I don't care for the skin you chose on jalbum (too Hollywood)
Thanks for showing the two programs. Had you concidered putting your thumbs inside an I-frame and keeping the I-frame within the 800 X 600 format so you san see the entire photo without scrolling? Even if the page is larger with its text and title banners and link buttons, I don;t think you should enlarge the photos beyond the 800 X 600.
Great photos!

They both loaded very quickly, each has pros. Jablum looks neater, Porta lets you see the larger image right away.

By the way, those very dark tinted Jeep windows, check country regulations, there could be restrictions in some places -guarantee that you will be pulled over.

hi Bill - the dark tints are legal in Vegas - only thing that keeps us from cooking in the summer
redid everything in Jalbum worth it? watch out for the music

Yes it was worth it and looks very good. Nice photos.

On tint, was not refering to Vegas or any part of the USA, know that you plan to travel south and will tow it. Some countries -not counties- may have regulations against them.

good luck

Ann...awesome ...looks fab and I JUST LOVE YOUR PICS....the puprle 'thistle?" in the Grand Tetons set is for some reason my fav. Great Job.

thank you - it's a neat program - as for tint - never know in another country. might cost us a few dollars here and there - keeps prying eyes out too.

Your pictures are awesome. What kind of camera did you use. Have you thought of making them into postcards to sell?
