Zoom.it

Some online services are more interesting than the others, and today’s Zoom.it could be considered anything from “pointless” to “outstanding,” but this has nothing to do with the fact that some people hate Microsoft, while others love it. Being able to zoom into various images isn’t something new, but with Zoom.it, at least you won’t have to download them and then do the zoom thing using your favorite image editor…

When it comes to using Zoom.it, everything’s pretty straightforward: you add [...]

Gradually

These days, online multimedia content seems to grow at a scary rate. As long as we’re talking about original work, I don’t think “scary” should find its place in the previous sentence, but things are quite different, unfortunately, because this growth comes with a proportional growth of plagiarized content. Oh, well, you win some, you lose some, but as long as images are nicely displayed as a slideshow, one may overlook the fact they can be seen on 2345 websites… [...]

Moa

If you want to integrate a image gallery into your personal website or a small company website, you can easily use a free image gallery website system. One of the best image gallery website system I have ever seen is Moa.

Moa is written in PHP and uses MySQL for data storage. Moa is not intended for [...]

slideViewer

One of my morning “rituals” includes jumping around the house, having some fruits, and then checking email/news, as well as spending a few peaceful moments enjoying some images, usually professional pictures of fruits/vegetables/remote places. No need to get into detail more than that, but I am sure you’ll agree with me that a site for those who have similar habits would be nice, as long as you have enough images that you can freely use and the right script to [...]

AnythingSlider

To be honest, I love image gallery scripts, but when I want to watch various images on the Web, I like keeping things as simple as possible. When I say “as simple as possible,” that means image transitions and Flash- or Java-based image galleries are a no-go, but…

… it all becomes pretty interesting when we look at AnythingSlider, a jQuery plugin created to display not only images, but any kind of HTML content. Before I tell you a few words [...]

Plogger

While “Plogger” sounds like a Blogger wannabe, things are completely different. Anyway, since I don’t like to judge things only taking the name and visuals into account, let’s take a closer look at this open source photo gallery known as Plogger, shall we?

With over 50,000 downloads so far, Plogger claims to belong to “the next generation in open-source photo gallery systems” while offering a very straightforward design and succeeding in remaining very easy to setup and use.

Integrating it into a [...]

dfGallery

One of these days, I will go out and start shooting. No, I am not crazy – I’ll take pictures, I won’t shoot anyone! Anyway, guns are illegal here, so we’ll stick to a bunch of images being displayed in a browser. Obviously, it’s about a free Flash image gallery, as you can see below…

… and its name is dfGallery, currently at version 2.0. Requiring only the Apache rewrite module with PHP 5+, php_json and php_curl extensions to be in [...]

MegaZine

These days, delivering multimedia content gets more and more interesting with each day. I am not thinking about the low prices of HD cameras and the impressive amount of storage offered by most portable drives available these days, because sometimes you don’t need to get out and grab your own content. For example, think about various school projects…

… and no matter what you need to deliver, as long as we’re talking about multimedia, MegaZine is a great platform to use. [...]
