I love your Gallery, the only thing that keeps me from using it is, as an aritst I need to put up detail pictures of my art work. I suggest an option to upload at least three detail pictures that will show on the same page as the art work.

I think you are trying to do something similar to the way I set up Gallery for my dad. He does woodworking and takes pics of his projects. Some projects he has just one picture while others he has like 30 pics. His Gallery is broken down into categories like Entertainment Centers, Furniture, Mantles, etc. In each category (main album) is a main picture of each of his projects (sub albums)... for example, if there are 15 mantels in his Mantle Album there will be 15 pictures there. BUT, some of these pics are additional albums (sub albums) IF there is more than one picture of his project. See here for an example...

Could you not do something similar? I presume your art is viewed in categories. Each category would then have in it a sub albums. Each sub album would be one piece of art with the main picture (not detail pics) selected as the "highlight". Then, when the highlight image is clicked you'll open up another page with all the detail pics of that piece of art. Would this work or am I way off base on what you want to do? :)

zman: How did you make that awesome drop shadow-effect on the album pictures? I'd love to do that too!
