After 3 years as a designer, I am sick of manually creating thumbnail/blowup photo galleries in HTML.

Can anyone recommend a good photo gallery utility? I know of ImageFolio, which starts at around $59. Any other good ones?

if you know / are allowed to use PHP then it's extremely easy to create your own gallery which will dynamically create the thumbs for you. that'd be free (albeit your hosting costs might increase slightly)

I am aware that PHP can be used to create photo galleries. However, I don't know PHP. Perhaps this project would be a good reason to learn...

Thanks!

if you dont php then it sure as darn it would! it's fab - i'd dabbled in asp before and didnt enjoy it, so had a pop at php and have loved it. Am developing some pretty nifty bits of code (even if i do say so myself), and have even done a bit of contracting work from it too.

If you are interested then head over to www.phpbuilder.com/board where there's a very good forum full of advice and tips.

Actually PHP is close syntactically to C, Java, Perl, etc. If you've got a grasp on any of those languages, PHP should come easy to you. ASP has a totally different syntax, and I agree with jpmoriarty, PHP is much more enjoyable for me.
