Hello. I am new to posting photos on the web. I have Photoshop CS2 (just completed a class to familiarize myself with the basics) and I have Dream Weaver 8 (unfamiliar). I will be starting up a website and would like to post slideshows there as well embed pictures on different pages. I know Dream Weaver will let me embed pictures, but can it put slideshows in websites? Or do I need some other software?

Thanks in advance!

there are addons for dreamweaver so am sure that u can do slide shows, but there is also dedicated slideshow software that u can itegrate into your website

i use photoshop and imageready along with dreamweaver and fireworks to make my site, but dont use slideshows at all so cannot give more detail

my site is at www.hd7.co.uk took a fair few hours to come up with layout...get it working etc.......still not finished

Thanks for the information. I hope to have my website up in the next few weeks. I will look into ImageReady and the dedicated slideshow software. Also I visited your site, I like the layout and the pictures are great!

I've been to the UK 3 times. I worked for Blue Circle Cement for a number of years. I've been to Canterbury(loved it), Westbury, London (of course), Kent, Edinburgh (could have lived here), Wales, Cornwall, Glasglow & Stirling - couldn't visit Scotland and not visit Stirling Castle to see the William Wallace monument. Thoroughly enjoyed myself & claim part Scottish heritage (McPherson/Clan MacPherson - Touch not the Cat without a Glove). Friends live in Wales & Derbyshire so I will be back.

Take care.

just a quick bit of extra info

image ready come with photoshop..........at the bottom of tool menu is an icon to switch from photoshop to image ready.

image ready lets u make animations, rollovers, and slice a picture for a image map.

the layout for my site was layed out as a jpeg in photoshop, then switched into image ready to "slice" up so it could be used to make a website, image ready saves the sliced and makes a html file that dreamweaver can read and u can modify to add links etc.

u visited quite a few places we have been to, also been to USA to stop with a friend in Ohio, south east corner near West Virginia, but didnt travel about much

hope u get to grips with making and runing a website, its a pretty thankless task, people think its easy till they have a go !!!!!!
