F.A.Q.

Q: What version of Lightroom do I require?
A: Lightroom 3.2 or higher.

Q: Does the user need Javascript enabled to see the galleries?
A: Generally, no, not for good browsers. Users of Internet Explorer on the other hand will need Javascript enabled, otherwise the images will all be displayed at the wrong height (although they'll still be displayed). iPad/iPhone support also needs Javascript for the scrolling and pinch gesture.

Q: I have a question concerning the design/creation/publication of the site. Where should I be looking?
A: Here.

Q: Filmstrip exports fairly high resolution images. Isn't it silly to put such large images on the web?
A: By default Filmstrip exports images at two resolutions - 480 pixels wide for small screen devices and 1024 pixels wide for all others. You can optionally export a third class of images at a higher resolution. It's worth bearing in mind that the raison d'être of Filmstrip is to display big images in order to provoke the greatest emotional response. Only you can decide if the benefits of this approach - impressing your potential clients - outweighs the risks of image theft. Many professional photographers are now displaying large images.

Q: The rounded corners option for the menu bar doesn't do anything. Why?
A: Internet Explorer doesn't support this feature. On Windows Lightroom previews your design using Internet Explorer. Rest assured that the rounded corners will be seen on better browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari...).

Q: My branding image has a coloured background, shouldn't it be transparent?
A: This is a limitation of the preview under Windows. The transparency should take effect when the gallery is exported.
