Overview
Arles
Image Web Page Creator
Use
Arles Image Web Page Creator to quickly and easily create image galleries
on the web. Arles generates top quality
thumbnails, modifies images and automatically creates HTML pages.
You can either use the default settings or fine-tune images and webpages to your needs using one the many available options. Templates are available for power users who want full control.
Arles Image Explorer
Arles includes the Arles
Image Explorer for easy management of all your image files. With
it you can sort, select,
rotate, crop and specify
titles for all images on your computer.
Image edit actions like rotate and crop do not modify your
images, which means that you never will accidently overwrite your original
images. Folder
bookmarks make it easy to navigate to your most popular folders.
High quality images
Arles Image Web Page Creator uses advanced resampling techniques, such as Lanczos
3 and Mitchell filters, to generate top quality thumbnails. Resampling is generally
only available in advanced photo editing software packages and produces images
of
superior
quality
compared to standard resize methods.
Image effects
Arles comes with image effect window, in which you can quickly select
and combine advanced effects like wooden borders, drop shadows,
a paperclip overlay,
ground reflection and 3D transformations.
Shown below is an example of a rosewood border which can be selected with two mouse clicks: in the Image Effects window click the Add button > Image Overlay > Rosewood.
Image titles
In the Arles Image Explorer titles
can be set for all images on your computer. These title are stored automatically
in a database or in the file itself (using IPTC).
For the image galleries titles you can either select a predefined type, like the file name, or take full control by using title tags. With title tags, like <FileSize> or <ImageHeight>, you can insert image file information like file name, size, date, image height, or any IPTC or EXIF field. Arles will automatically replace the tags with the correct information when generating galleries.
Image text labels and logos
Arles Image Web Page Creator can automatically add
text labels or image logos to all
your images. Adding a copyright statement, or any other user defined
text, makes the image less useful for copying. The text labels
on the images can be transparent, rotated or embedded as a watermark.
Movie support
With Arles you can create galleries with movies. The generated movie
thumbnails can link either directly to the movie file or
a webpage with an embedded movie. The built-in Select
Movie Frame tool allows you to specify
what frame you want Arles to use to generate the thumbnail.
Special effects
Auto-scrolling galleries, slideshows,
exact
placed and multi-size thumbnails, a gallery
of websites or a random
rotation effect; it is all possible.
Multi folder processing
The Multi-folder Processing tool generates
a complete folder structure in one click. In the Arles Image Explorer you
can select a default image for each folder - which will be used
to generate subcategory thumbnails - or specify a custom
folder style, in case you want some folders to have a different
look.
Multi-threaded publishing
The Publish Files utility is multi-threaded, which means it
uploads multiple files in parallel, thus greatly reducing the time
required
to publish your image galleries to the webserver. It also supports
synchronisation to make sure only modified files are uploaded.
IPTC & EXIF
Any IPTC or EXIF field can be embedded in the galleries
and the Arles Image Explorer can sort on or show any of those fields
in the grid.
The IPTC editor allows editing IPTC information for multiple
files.
More features
There are many more features besides the ones mentioned
above. Advanced users can, for example, take advantage of Templates,
Custom HTML and Thumbnail
tags for full control over the
look and layout of the generated webpages. Or use title tags to
automatically insert any image information in the generated galleries
or on the
image itself.
Creating galleries of websites is an other unique feature where Arles automatically downloads websites and creates thumbnails. But there is also an advanced multi-file renaming tool. To experience all options download the fully functional evaluation version.
