Hi,

Ive just recently found your site and love open source programs and software. I run a site myself so I'm sure I am posting this is the wrong 'area' but I just couldn't seem to find the right one. Please forgive me but I have a few questions.

My first question is what software do I want?
I'm not sure the differences between Gallery 1 and Gallery 2.

Small explanation of what I need:
I will be running a gallery site for Artists and photographers to upload their work on (a bit like a stock photo site). What I'm needing is something that will allow them to choose a skin or template for their work, and do the background work for them. Like links and things. I'd like them to be able to manage the way the look and feel and some of the functionality themselves. In other words basically just be able to maybe choose individual templates for the way the gallery looks and operates.
Will Gallery work for me?

My other question (at the moment) is, what image formats does this software support for upload?

I am really sorry if this is in the wrong place do feel free to move it where it should be.

Thanks

See:
- http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:About
- http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/G1-G2_Comparison

We're recommending G2 to anyone since we think it's a superior replacement for G1 and G1 development will stop soon anyway.
G2 should fit your needs.

general discussion & feedback under G2 support would be fine for G2 vs G1 questions.
