Hi all.
I've recently embarked on collecting and categorizing our 10k+ family photos - what an adventure ! While I've only been using ACDSee Photo Studio for the past few weeks, it's been going quite well. I've been mostly using ACDSee's keyword capability as it allows me to "push" these keywords back into the photo files.
Anyhow, I'm now looking for the best way to "publish" the photos to my family. Although I'm still fuzzy on what I want to accomplish, I was thinking of a Web photo gallery of sorts. Preferably, I'd like to surface some of the metadata effort I've put in by allowing a viewer to search/sort on this metadata (ie. keywords). I've tried ACDSee's builtin HTML generator and found it a bit too basic (plus it doesn't expose any of the metadata, that I'm aware of anyhow). Also, as I prefer keeping photos within my network, I'm probably looking at a self-hosted solution.
I'm wondering what others have done in this regard (ie. "publishing)" - l'm open to suggestions and best practices.
Thank you.
Robert
