| Typically, the initial image defined with the Image Prototype for a particular webpage would be relatively small, like a thumbnail. Once multiple photos are imported from Image Archive onto the page, the resulting webpage would be composed of a gallery of thumbnails, or whichever size you chose using the Image Prototype. Then you could create additional Image Views for that webpage with increasingly larger sizes. The resulting sub-pages display only one picture each, at the size that you specify using the Image Prototype. A web visitor would simply click on a picture to see a larger version, or choose a navigation link to browse between Image View pages. | Typically, the initial image defined with the Image Prototype for a particular webpage would be relatively small, like a thumbnail.

| - | Photographers can design extensive thumbnail galleries that load quickly, yet visitors can still gain access to full-size images. By adding an Automatic Forward from the Page menu, one can even publish a self-running slide show. | ||
