========================================
Gallery Creator, developed by Synthetic Realms, is a Windows-
based graphics tool for the automatic generation of thumbnails
and customizable HTML galleries from image lists. By saving the
gallery options you can maintain your gallery, adding and removing
pictures, with a few mouse clicks. Various thumbnail options
allow you to select the image size, quality, and location of
your resulting thumbnails. Frame or table-based galleries can
be created and captions can be added to the thumbnails or the
images. In table-based galleries the images can be opened in the
same browser window or separate browser windows. Many more HTML
options are available in Gallery Creator including background
color and image selection, text color selection, and heading
text or image selection. Images may be acquired directly from
TWAIN-compliant sources.

Installation
============
Gallery Creator 1.1 uses a different installer than version 1.0.
It is suggested that you uninstall any 1.0 installations
previous to this before proceeding with this installation. (Version
1.0a was the same installer).

ZIP installation:
To install Gallery Creator unzip the file to a temporary directory
and run the file Setup.exe.

EXE installation:
Double click the executable file included. This will automatically
unarchive the files and run the setup program.

Follow the instructions of the setup program and make note of the
location you install Gallery Creator to. Gallery Creator also has an
uninstaller, available in the Add/Remove programs icon in the Control
Panel, which can be used to completely remove Gallery Creator at any
time. In order to install Gallery Creator on NT4 or higher it
is necessary to be logged in with administrator privelages since
the installer may need to update your system files. On Windows 2000
it is possible for the administrator to set up install programs to have
administrative privelages, in this case you will not need to be logged
on as the administrator.

Requirements
============
Gallery Creator requires Windows 9x, ME, or Windows NT4 or higher.
It has only been tested with NT4 SP4. It may or may not work with previous
service pack version.
