[support] Image/Photo Galleries - recommendations of modules

[Bruce Whealton]

Ok, how can I put this to explain some possible confusion.  The Gallery module is to include the Gallery program and it's features into Drupal.  Does that mean it does a full install of Gallery into my drupal install or it just hooks the Gallery program that I would install elsewhere?  And it isn't native?  I'm a bit confused on that.

Gallery can definitely do this.

Interesting, I have never seen this module before. Seems like it does the same 
thing as img_assist, does it not?

  That's what I was thinking.  Where would documentation exist for Image Filter and for Image Assist?  Do both modules create a new node of image?  So, that the photograph would be found just like any other node (story, page) node/nid#, I mean is that the  same for both Image Filter and Image_Assist?
  Also, do not the modules create 3 different image sizes for each image imported?  If so, how do I say I want an (or the) 85X85 image or the 200X200, for example?  Can I say I want the image aligned left, right, center, etc?

AcidFree sounds pretty good. Allows more flexibility on the look of the 
gallery I think.
   
  Cool I'll check that out too.
  Thanks,
