Aperture 2…the difference between the Web Gallery, Webpage and Web Journal... plus another option is iWeb… sharing and showing your Photos with YOUR clients and the rest of the world. My choice & workflow at the Beijing Olympics would have been the MobileMe Gallery, the one I LOVE so much.
I am not going into details of these three today but I rather explain in simple and short terms the difference. You might remember from of my previous blogs how much I love the Web Gallery now called MobileMe Gallery.

When you need to create
web pages that mix text and images, the
Web
Journal option
is your best choice. When you create a
Web
Journal, you
manually add the pages, images and text. This is
slower than the Web Gallery option, but it offers
precise control.
2.
Within
Aperture
there is a third option
simply called Webpage.
The Webpage
template offers less
customization than the Web
Journal;
the Webpage
translates an Album
into a page, and then allows you to specify a number
of columns and rows for each page.

Web Journal, ideal for lots of text.

I guess you know this
one, the now called MobileMe
Gallery, my
absolute favorite, but then it depends what type of
work you producing or like to show. However you do
need a MobileMe
account for the
MobileMe
Gallery.
The Web Journal and
Web Page can be
placed also on any Server where as the Web Gallery
(now MobileMe
Gallery)
requires a .Mac account or now a MobileMe account.
I have described my favorite the MobileMe
Gallery (before
.Mac) in great details before and how much I love it
for the storage and distribution of my images, and
since the arrival of MobileMe it has only gotten
better.
If I where in Beijing right now and had to cover some
of the events I would certainly choose the
MobileMe
Gallery to get
my images out to the Editors and Publishers, the
MobileMe Gallery is very cool and smooth as
Silk…

Finish
However Aperture
does not stop here,
if Aperture’s
three webpage options
aren’t enough for you then you can turn to
iWeb,
which is part of the iLife
suite that is a
standard on all Macs.
Tip:
If iWeb isn’t located
in your Dock, you can navigate to your Applications
folder and launch it from here.
Note also:
If you have an active
MobileMe account, when you click on the Publish
button, iWeb
will automatically
upload your website. Otherwise you can always choose
File>Publish to a Folder to Export iWebpages
without needing a MobileMe account
(until
recently it was called .Mac)
WOW all of this
within Aperture
2.1.1; I keep on
saying…AMAZING… not surprising with all this
integration on the Mac.
