I finally managed to place online a gallery with some of my pics. I choosed the PSCS2 Flash gallery for one simple reason: I have no time to work seriously on the site and flash - despite the fact that needs his own plugin - keeps the pics more difficult to steal (I have them for sale with an agency).
So, if you have nothing to do and want to take a look, here it is:

I really like the way the little window resizes and then shows the picture you select but I absolutely loathe that it opens a new window (or a new tab for us Firefox users) when you click a link from the front page.
Also, there is no alt text or helpful directions to the navigation links in the lower right-hand corner.

As I said, it's just the plain PSCS2 gallery sticked in the site and linked from the home page. The problem is that if I want (as I wished) have everything in the same window I have to change the flash file and I'm no flash expert. I think that it will end with a different web gallery without flash. I have no time to spend on this, unfortunately.

I liked that too, very neat. And I also liked that sections open in a new window, it makes navigation easier.
The only thing I didn't like is the black color of the main page. But that's a personal preference.

I like it but agree about it being annoying when it opens a new tab. The overall design is neat though.

That will be fixed sooner or later, I really need to find the time to do something serious but hey, I gotta work for feeding my lenses and camera :D
For the moment, I do not have time to change and when I add something (and that will happen soon) will be in the same way.

Changed my mind and found some spare time. Fixed the gallery in a different way. Let me know, if you want to, what you think of the new layout.

I understand Your reasons for choosing flash because of lack of time. But I am sorry that You think flash makes it more difficult to steal Your photos. One google search with keywords "decode flash", one download later and I know the exact file position of the photos so I can download them outside the flash object. But the size of the photos are actually enough to discourage people to steal the photos.
That said, You have some nice photos. :D

DxHatck: what you mean ? some color where ? On the HTML code ?
Tommy: you are absolutely right. I know that is quite easy to steal the pics, but if the use of flash leaves out just 5% of potential abusive users that's fine for me. Better a 5% than nothing :) The real deterrent is the size, this is also true and was taken in consideration. By combining the two thinghs I just expect to be a little more on the safer side. Sure, I could have done more complex things like embed all the pictures in a db and then access them from a web interface, this would have made stealing quite more complex, but its not worth the effort, at least for the quality of pics I've got as of today.
And thanks, I'm happy you liked the pics :D

Rob, I'm afraid I found your site rather irritating as portrait photos kept shifting the thumbnails out of the bottom of the window. Could you move the thumbnails to the top of the screen instead?
More importantly, you have some nice photos on your site.:)
