The 3 Necessities to Website Creation
When you try ShutterBug, make sure to try out all three tabs on the interface -
Content, Layout, and Preview. Build your content, add a theme and customize
pages or create your own unique design, web preview your site, and one-click, your
site is off to the web. And don't forget about all of the other great gems for
displaying your images - crop, rotate and zoom in on your photos, adjust the
sharpness, brightness, contrast and saturation, add watermarks and drop shadows,
create collages, custom thumbnail sizing, link your caption text, embed links into
your thumbnails, and add some alt tags if you want...plus much, much, more
than first meets the eye!
Build Your Content Quickly
ShutterBug's Content window makes adding text and photos so easy and fast, you
can have a website done in under thirty minutes or less. Drag and drop to add
photos, movies, music and reorder pages and photos quickly. Add and edit as much

Easy button for fast link insertion into page text, caption text or embed links into
photos. Create separate album pages or categorize your pages into group folders.
