Web Gallery Output
The Web Gallery component of the Adobe Output Module is a
very easy way to quickly build a website for displaying photos. A
Web photo galler y uses a home page w ith thumbnail il images and
several gallery pages with full-size images. Power users and ama-
teurs alike have discovered the power and flexibility of creating
entire galleries within Bridge.
Without knowing any HTML or Flash, users can quickly create
online galleries for their images. Bridge offers several customiz-
able templates, which are well suited for different tasks like client
review or online portfolios.

Choose Window > Workspace > Output. The Bridge interface
rearranges to show the Output panel at the right side of the
screen. The Content panel appears at the bottom of the screen
