Web Gallery Missing

[Brian_Price_UK]

I'm using the latest Photoshop, and I am trying to use it to create a simple web gallery. It used to be in File>Automate  but it's not there anymore. I also remember using Bridge, but I can't find it there either.

Can anyone help?

Use the older, optional Photoshop plug-in

Adobe removed the ability to create Web Galleries from both Photoshop and Bridge.

The Web Gallery plugin mentioned in the KB doesn't work with photoshop versions newer than cs5 (mac) and cs6 (windows).

Lightroom Classic still has the Web Gallery function.

IIRC, those old fashioned web galleries were Flash based.  Flash Player was permanently discontinued in 2020 when the browser makers quit supporting Flash. 

Web galleries today are built with a combination of  HTML5, CSS & JavaScript.  You can code your own galleries in Dreamweaver or Animate, either alone or with aid from 3rd party scripts like Bootstrap's Carousel component, Fancybox 4 (Lightbox alternative), Wow Slider, or Project Seven's Image Gallery & Presentation extensions.  If your site is built with WordPress, there are hundreds of WP gallery plugins. The trick is deciding what kind of gallery & features you want as no two are the same.

Hope that helps.

Nancy,

"IIRC, those old fashioned web galleries were Flash based."

This is not true. What IS true, SOME of the Web Photo Galleries were Flash, many others were 100% HTML based and used NO Flash. The one I still use is a modified version of the Adobe WPG supplied template called: Simple

@stevethornton,

Thanks for your feedback to this 2 year old topic.

By way of an update, most modern websites (Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, WordPress...) come equipped with built-in web galleries now.

Photographers with a Creative Cloud Plan have free access to Adobe Portfolio websites to showcase their work online. Adobe Portfolio integrates seamlessly with Lightroom CC, Lightroom Mobile, or Lightroom Web.  No add-ons are required. See links below for details.

• Lightroom Integration with Portfolio:

• Portfolio Image Modules or Photo Grids:

• Optional Lightbox Viewer:

Lastly & perhaps more importantly,  Adobe Stock Contributors are able to share their Adobe Stock collections directly with Portfolio to help promote online sales of their content for royalty fees & bonuses.

In all, we have many more integrated options now that didn't exist a few years ago.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. I normally use Lightroom for html galleries, but I had a few photos that hadn't been imported and I remembered using Bridge some years ago.
