Best Picture Galleries

[Matrix1976]

Suggestions please!

I want to create an awesome and huge online picture gallery for my site Britney-Spears.com.

With so many available out there, i dont know which to choose, and i cant test them all, that would just take too much time.

Here is what i need :

- i have to be able to customise and adapt it to my current website template.

- Preferably, i would like the program to allow me to add custom watermarks with my URL or other info.

- I would like it to offer the possiblilty of working with subcategories

- Custom Thumbnail creations are a must, as well as custom thumbnail pages...

- i would like to be able to add adsense or other promotional stuff throughout the galleries.

- the gallery must be easy and relatively fast to set up and edit.

- i dont mind paying for this software as long as its reasonably priced....if i am not mistaken, most of these types of softwares are under 50-100$....i could go higher if its really really worth it...


i think thats about it...


What galleries do you prefer? Which one(s) are you using right now? which ones would you avoid like the pest and why?

THe 1st '15' people who can suggest their favorite gallery(ies) and explain why they are the best one(s) in their opinion will get 100NP$, (please give a reasonable amount of info, like if u wanted to sell me the software )...

Thx
Mat

I personally use My MSn Space, it shows my pictures in a big clear format, however there are many other good ones avaiable

I have seen coppermine in use and tT is a professional gallery, but I dont much liek the template

The best one in my opinion ( but you have to buy a comercial licese) is 4images gallery. It seems to be the best for your needs. It has the following features

Image Gallery system featuring unlimited categories/subcategories, web-based and FTP images upload, auto-thumbnails, comments, send a picture, rate a picture, random pictures, extensive administration panel

As previousley stated the only drawback is the ocmerical license only needed if ur going to use it commercially. Another great thing is thta it installs in fantastico, I beleive thta you can use your own template.

The gallery makes it so users have ot sign in to see the pictures, bringing you more members! Also things like random picture make it so much better!

Just my opinion!

you say it brings more members, does that mean it can be integrated to the Vbulletin user database?

Also, i dont speak german, do they have an english site and demo?

Neither Do I and unfortunatley they break frames... so you cant really translate...

I unfortunatley dont know... I used it briefly when trying out all the fantastico things
