[support] Image/Photo Galleries - recommendations of modules

[Metzler, David]

I don't think these modules will facilitate batch uploading. 
 
Properly configured image assist should display an icon below each text
area to facilitate the adding of an image that has already been uploaded
using the "create image" menu. (i.e. creating a node of content type
image). 
 
The icon looks a bit like the plus sign and an image. 
 
A demo can be found with by clicking on the submit a poem link on my
drupal demo site:

Subject: [support] Image/Photo Galleries - recommendations of modules


Hi,
    I'm wanting to use Drupal for a site where a company will want to
display it's projects.  What we'd have would be photographs, image files
that would contain a few photographs and some captions to explain things
to the visitor obviously.
     I also want a tool for including image files in a posting.  I've
mentioned this on topics that were related but different, so I thought
I'd write with a focus on using images.  
First is choosing the tools to use, the modules.
Do I use just one?  For example, I see a module for Gallery, one for
Image and Image_assist, image import, and image_filter.  Some of these
seem like they would work not all alone but in conjunction with others.
Some features that I'd like and which module seems to address it, are as
follows:
1) allow batch uploading by the customer, on their site, of a zip or
other compre ssed file, that will be unzipped by the system.
2) Allow captioning for each image
3) Add images to story/page/other nodes
 
Qquestion 1>So, #1 and #2 seem like they would be met by either Gallery,
Image or Image Import.
#3 maybe is what I would need for the inline images.
But should I use Image or Gallery or Image Import but not both or all
three?  Is there another module worth considering?  I'm just trying to
get an idea how to not duplicate and confuse others by having two or
more modules that do the same thing.
 
 
Question 2> referring to #3 above, I have image_assist installed but I'm
not seeing where on the add/page or add/story forms I would see the
place to include a photograph into the posting.  Not to sound ignorant,
but how does "Image Assist" assist a person adding a node with one or
more photographs?  I do see atta ch file but that's there without Image
Assist.  Please clear this up for me or help
Sorry I'm so verbose... 
Q3> Should I consider other modules for working with or using images?
Thanks,
Bruce
