Adding photos using the Photos template

The iWeb Photos template features a photo grid that makes it easy to add, organize, and format photos and captions. You can modify the appearance of the grid, how many photos it accommodates, and the length of photo captions. For more information, see Related Topics below.

You can also add movies to the Photos template.

To add photos using the Photos template:

  1. If you have more than one website, select the site you want to add the photos page to by selecting any of its pages in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.

  2. Note:If you already have an albums page, and you select the website’s name or the albums page in the sidebar, the new photos page is automatically added to the albums index page.

  3. Click the Add Page button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  5. In the template chooser, select a theme from the list on the left of the window, select the Photos template on the right, and then click Choose.

  6. If the Media Browser isn’t open, click the Show Media button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window, and then click the Photos or Movies button.

  8. Drag photos or movies from the Media Browser to the photo grid on the photos page.

    You can drag individual photos, multiple photos (by Shift-clicking to select multiple adjacent photos or Command-clicking to select multiple individual photos), or a whole album. When you add an album, all photos it contains are displayed on the page. The first item (photo, movie, or album) you add replaces all the placeholder photos in the photo grid.

    As you drag media to the photos page, a blue rectangle appears, indicating the area of the photo grid. This area grows as you add photos. You can modify how many photos the grid displays. For more information, see Related Topics below.

  9. Click the placeholder text below a photo and type a caption.

    To turn off captions, click a photo or movie, and set the caption lines to zero in the Photo Grid window that appears. This setting affects all the photos and movies you add to this page.

You can also drag image and movie files directly to the photo grid from the Finder or iPhoto.
