TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE FOR INTERNET EXPLORER USERS:
You will need to upload your gallery files and view the online version of your gallery in order to have the "Original" link work correctly on your gallery pages. This is because IE security settings prevent the Web browser from accessing the local version of the image file from your computer. The link should work correctly when previewing the local gallery in another browser, like Firefox.

Why include the source image?

If the source image files residing on your computer are high resolution, the wizard will make them Web- and sharing- friendly by shrinking down their size before importing them into the program. By selecting this feature for an image, you are telling the wizard to import a copy of the image at its original resolution. You may want to use this option if you want to show more detail of an image or to provide a high resolution file suitable for printing.

If you have several high resolution images that you want to import, you may want to further scale down these images. Keep in mind that incorporating high resolution images in your Web gallery will impact the time it will take to upload your Web gallery to a Web host as well as the download time a viewer experiences when viewing this image.

Batch selecting images for source image inclusion

You can either select images one-by-one and check the Source image box, or if you have several images for which you want to include source image files, just use multiple select (Ctrl or Shift modifier keys) and then check the box. Similarly, you can scale down multiple images as well.

Scaling down image file sizes

To provide images that your viewers can print, it is best to use images as high in resolution as possible. If you just want to show an image larger than it is displayed in your Web gallery, 800x600 pixels or 1024x768 pixels may be sufficient.
