Web Gallery Replacement

With Bridge having sadly discontinued its handy feature to produce an HTML-based online gallery, saved locally, has anyone found a useful replacement? I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks to some third party as long as they had the earlier features displaying a thumbnail index with links to each picture with a caption posted from the image's meta description.

 

Anbody found anything to recommend?

Maybe not entirely what you are looking for, but you can create webpages in Adobe Express which can include photo galleries:


when done it will generate a link that you can share around and that stays the same whether you change anything within the page or not...
Of course you can apply your brand to the page, add videos clickable links as buttons and whatnot. Or just use it as a presentation page.

Have a look at Lightroom Classic which has numerous Web Galleries to chose from.

Jeff,

 

Lightroom Classic v.12.5 seems like a fine solution, but I'm not a Lightroom user. I'm reasonably good at Photoshop, and that seems to include everything I need to edit my photographs. Lightroom seems to have a completely different file management interface with Catalogs and such. I've spent some frustrating hours trying to wade through that.

 

Would you, or any Lightroom driver, be willing to sell an hour of your time showing me only what I need to get a folder of 20 Photoshop (.psd) pictures displayed and ready for Lightroom's web gallery feature -- which does look tantalizingly like just what I need?

 

Cheers,

Peter

Not sure it does EXACTLY what you need but Lightrrom CC (not classic) also have some sort of web gallery and you won't be bothered by catalogues as in Classic. It's more limited in other aspects, but maybe this one fits your need)

(there are 3 types of Lightroom: Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, and Lightroom mobile), only the first uses catalogues in the way most people are used to.
