Ever wanted to create a thumbnail gallery of images, but Dreamweaver's rollover behaviors seem a little played-out? Flash's ActionScript is a little too difficult to write? I recently found Visual Lightbox, a tool for effortlessly building beautiful thumbnail galleries with absolutely no coding! Unlike jQuery Lightbox, which requires you to do some HTML coding, VL couldn't be easier! I re-did my web portfolio using VL and it's beautiful! Take a look and tell me what you think.

Hello professor, I took a look at your thumbnails and graphic design photos and they are very good. How can I get art images I have that were done by hand into high quality high resolution photos in the computer similar to the way you have them? Hope all is well.
You have two options: If the work is small, scan it on a good scanner such as the UMAX PowerLook III; we have a few in the lab at MDC. If the work is very large or three-dimensional, you need to shoot it with a digital camera. I believe several brands are available that deliver 10-megapixel quality at an affordable price. If you are shooting a large painting, take it outside, prop it against a tree and shoot it in indirect sunlight, or better yet, on a slightly overcast day. If it's a three-dimensional object, try to light it with incandescent (not fluorescent) light, and use a large sheet of paper to stage it. Well, I hope that helps. Good luck with your portfolio, and please send me a link when it's ready!
