Previewing in a browser requires Lightroom to render temporary i les for all
the photos and can be quite slow. I recommend that you instead use the Web
module's built-in preview whenever possible, or use a limited number of photos
for your test previews.

If you want to test the gallery in multiple browsers, you should Export the gallery
to disk and open the gallery i les in any number of browsers of your choosing.
Exporting Web galleries is discussed later in this chapter.
OK, back to styling your gallery.
Appearance panel
h e Appearance panel is split into three
sections; see Figure 7-10.
Common Settings are applied to all
photos within this gallery. Tick the box
to add drop shadows behind all photos.
In the html default gallery you don't
have any options for controlling drop
shadows. Section borders are placed
between the dif erent areas of the page
and can also be turned on and of . You
can change the colors of the Section
Borders by clicking the swatch.
h e middle section of the Appearance
panel contains options for Grid Pages
within the Web gallery. (Of course, this
is totally dif erent than the Grid View in
Library.) If you see a warning triangle
to the right of the Grid Pages text, it's
because you're looking at a large image
page, not the thumbnails. h e warning
is telling you that if you make changes to
those settings, you won't see the changes
in the preview until you switch back to
the Grid Page.
Figure 7-10
h e grid you see in the panel represents rows and columns on your thumbnail
pages. Click in the grid to change the number of rows and columns and the
preview is updated immediately. (Don't click and drag; just click.)
