Large scale slideshow with new Smugmug tools - HELP

gbear · August 31, 2013

Does anybody know how to achieve a slideshow with large images using the new Smugmug tools? Unfortunately I don't code so I need to use the Smugmug tool set, or if coding is necessary I need to find it on a plug-and-play basis.

I love the new Smugmug but have not been able to find this info so far.

Thanks for reading. And for your help, if you can suggest something !

Hi Mark - Thanks so much for the reply.

I looked at your site - really great - and its exactly what I need. I am offering not photography but highly specialized retouching aimed at casual photographers - I don't think pros are a market for me. But your site layout would exactly allow me to show samples in a size big enough to see. I do have questions, though:

I understand the right screenshot - "Homepage"; and it looks like the left screenshot "Slideshow" is for a gallery named "Slideshow". What I don't know is the source of the center screenshot ? Where did it come from? - "container width" usually addresses a content block, I think.

And lastly - how did you create the beautiful screenshots ?

Again, many thanks for your help; much appreciated !

The center shot is from Dimensions It's the square icon (not square in shape but square as in carpenters tool) between the move icon and the wrench Icon when you hover over the SS in customize.

And lastly - how did you create the beautiful screenshots ?

Printscreen and a little app called Photoscape a lot quicker than PS for merging photos

Again, many thanks for your help; much appreciated !

Gosh - I am sorry after all your patience - I should never have said "lastly" and then thought of something else. But if you will go just one more answer -

What template is your site based on - I see a couple with everything at the top - but which did you use ?

Thanks so much for your patience. Bill Wilson http://billwilson.smugmug.com/
