SmartPhoto

SmartPhoto is the revolutionary Module that allows a webmaster to upload a photo, alter it to their liking, then include it into their website with just one line of code. No software is required, no graphics editing skills are needed and no disk space or bandwidth is required — Xara Online does all the hard work.

Webmasters can enhance their photos, crop, resize, sharpen, even make auto-expanding thumbnails with the SmartPhoto module. They can also optimise their photos, not just to improve the quality, but also to reduce the file size and speed up their website.

  • Crop, enlarge, reduce. Enhance the color, brightness and sharpen photos.
  • Update or replace the photos on a website remotely using our unique 'Instant Edit' Image restore.
  • No matter how much the image is altered, it always be restored to the original.
  • Supports photos up to 1280x1024 pixels.

  • Advanced transparency, color tinting and sepia or duotone effects.
  • Automatic thumbnails. Create a thumbnail, that when clicked on opens a window showing the full size image. Provides the benefit of a fast loading website and still allows large high-resolution images to be available at the same time.
  • Set a pop-up 'alt' text that appears when the mouse-pointer is held over the photo.
  • Give the photo a destination link URL to go to when clicked.
  • Finer control — resize and crop using pixel or percentage measures. Rotate images by any angle. Convert between JPG, GIF and PNG file types.

Photo Gallery...

One of our ready-made solutions, the Photo Gallery allows a webmaster to upload many photos and cleanly and efficiently present them to their visitors. Features include:

  • Paste a one-line snippet into any web page to provide a fully functional photo gallery.
  • No CGI, no scripting, no programming, and nothing required on the web server.

  • Photos are automatically re-sized to be thumbnails which click to enlarge.
  • The gallery is paginated so loads of photos can be placed on just a single web page with a single snippet. It can't get any easier.
  • Thumbnail images are optimised for maximum download speed.
  • Password protected admin controls to upload and edit the photo database.
  • The gallery is fully customisable. Colours, photo sizes and more.
