photon

PHOTON(1)																 PHOTON(1)

NAME

       photon - generates photo albums

SYNOPSIS

       photon [OPTIONS] [PATH]

DESCRIPTION

       Photon generates clean, yet configurable, static HTML photo galleries. All of the work is done from the command line, and the resulting
       output can easily be configured by changing the template files found in /usr/share/photon/templates.

       To create a new template (skin), first create a new directory:

	  mkdir -p ${HOME}/.photon/templates/my_theme/

       Then copy the contents of /usr/share/photon/templates/photonv1/ to this new directory.  Photon only needs three files to build pages:

       index.html
	  used to display the content of a folder

       image.html
	  used to display the page for an image

       movie.html
	  used to display the page for a movie

       If a file is missing, then photon will throw an error and will not run.

HOW TO BUILD A GALLERY

       Quick start
	  $ photon -o myoutputdir /photos

       Use the gimp plugin
	  $ photon --resize-plugin=gimp -v -o myoutputdir /photos

       Change the size for all images and the thumbnail and keep the original photo
	  $ photon --sizelist=0,1600x1200,800x600 --thumbsize=320x240 -o myoutputdir /photos

       Create a gallery from your custom template (skin)
	  $ photon -k my_theme -o myoutputdir /photos
