Managing Your Photos with Gallery

For the longest time I’ve been trying to find an web-based answer to managing my 10,000 + photo collection. I’ve had very specific criteria in mind for the ultimate photo management solution:
- It must auto-generate thumbnails, mid-sized images and link to the full resolution version
- The application should be easy to manage and update.
- The management must allow me to upload pictures from several computers, rather then just one machine, al la iPhoto / .Mac.
- Storage cannot be a limitation.
My search led me to several programs before finally selecting Gallery. First off, it’s Free, which is always a good thing. After installing MySQL and PHP5 on my OSX machine, I had Gallery up and running in no time. The install process is very friendly and if you have a rudimentary understanding of Apache you should be good to go.
The next step is to integrate it with Drupal and turn this puppy live.
