JAlbum - Free Web Photo Album software
JAlbum aims to be the easiest to use and most powerful tool in this category - and free!
With JAlbum, no extra software is needed to view the albums, -just your web browser. Unlike "server side" album scripts, JAlbum albums can be served from a plain web server without scripting support. You can also share your albums on CD-ROM.

With JAlbum you have full control of the look of the generated album, not just color theme and basic layout, still making an album is just a matter of drag and drop + a button click if you prefer to use one of the many existing looks. JAlbum will process your images, make index pages and slide show pages and even upload the final album to the Internet for your friends to see.

JAlbum runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and others and speaks 28 languages.

Click to view attachment

digiKam is a simple digital photo management application for KDE, which makes importing and organizing digital photos a "snap". The photos can be organized in albums which can be sorted chronologically, by directory layout or by custom collections. An easy to use interface is provided that enables you to connect to your camera and preview, download and/or delete your images.

digiKam makes use of KIPI plugins for lots of added functionality. KIPI (KDE Image Plugin Interface)(KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix workstations.) is an initiative to create a common plugin infrastructure for digiKam, KimDaBa, Showimg, and GwenView. Its aim is to allow development of image plugins which can shared among KDE graphical applications.

The digiKam image editor has its own plugin subsytem which some core plugins (for eg, redeye correction) provided with the main application. Additional plugins are available from digiKamImagePlugins . These plugins provide new image enhancement options like color managment, image filters, or special effects.

XML Photo Album is a free two-component program for archiving and displaying digital photos. There is a generator program to create and organize albums, and display files to allow them to be viewed with any full-function web browser (Mozilla or IE, not Opera or Safari), so no special software is needed for display. These albums can be archived on CDs and hard drives, or posted on the web, and are easy to update and change, with the generator program or even by hand (if you're not using Windows). With the generator, files are added to the album folder and thumbnails are generated automatically (though you can turn that off if it suits your fancy). Also, the generator will automatically read the dates embedded in images by most digital cameras.

Details
XML Photo Album consists of the archiving program, the Album Generator (written in Visual Basic.NET) which can be used to link data such as title, caption, date, location, and photographer to photos. The photos can be put in any order or sorted by date. The program generates an XML file containing this data as well as the filename of each image file. The second component is a collection of files that, given an XML database, displays the photos as an album in a web browser. The album data can be changed at any time, either by reloading the album into the Album Generator and changing entries, or by manually changing the XML. Any changes to the XML will immediately be reflected in the display. To see the display format, view the Sample Album.

Giambattista della Porta (1535-1615) was the first to add a convex lens to the camera obscura. This amplified its light sensitivity significantly and thus constituted a major step towards the cameras of today. Add the meaning of the Latin word porta (gate) and you have the full "story-behind-the-name".
