One of the most tedious and onerous tasks facing any successful webmaster is the creation and upkeep of a "Thumbnail Gallery". Thumbnail Galleries are commonly used to tease or entice guests into purchasing a site membership. Their power is proven .. but proper management of them is a nightmare. At least once per week you must copy over fresh images, create thumbnails for them, layout the new gallery page, then hyperlink each thumbnail  to the full size image. In fact, it's so much work that most webmasters don't even bother to create HTML pages for the full size images, they just link you straight to a raw image file. Functional, but hardly professional.

GF ImageDeck eliminates all that work. Using a random "dealing" algorithm, GF ImageDeck will automatically create the thumbnail page for you using a fresh set of images from it's "deck" of images. Once a set of images has been used, they are removed from the deck. Each time a new set is dealt, they are dealt from the images not yet seen. This guarantees that your guests are always presented with fresh and interesting images. Every time you rotate the page, new images are presented.

GF ImageDeck will generate the gallery using either of two common styles: Traditional pages where the full-size image is displayed in a page all its own, or Frames-style where the full size image appears in a separate frame. Selecting which style you prefer is simply a matter of changing a few control values in the GF ImageDeck script. You can also complete control the look of the generated pages. Using HTML include files both above and below each page, you can insert special messages, banners and other HTML effects that will add to the professional appearance of your thumbnail gallery. Take a look at the DEMO page for an example of how easy it is to change the look and feel of a gallery.

Most important of all is the fact that your guests are never shuffled off to a raw image. Unlike the manual method so often employed, GF ImageDeck generates a professional and elegant HTML page for each full size image. Each page includes optional HTML inserts above and below the image so that you can easily add hyperlinks to join pages, banners, etc. Plus, the image pages have the same appearance as your thumbnail page and your site, so they continue the theme you set for your site.
