The Photo Album module is a specialized CMS interface for image handling.  It is an example of a library manager, which means that you can open any library to manage its contents.  The Photo Album tool will only access images in your libraries, so any other objects (eg. documents, Flash files, etc.) will be ignored.

The Photo Album control panel gives you tools for uploading, scaling, thumbnailing, and captioning your images.  A user guide for these features is posted in the Content Management area of the documentation archive.

There are two ways to use your photos once you have uploaded them:

1. Insert them explicitly into pages using the Image tool in the HTML editor.
2. Add an album viewer plug-in to a page to display an entire album.  Examples of album viewer plug-ins include:
• Gallery
• SlideShow
• ImageRotate
• StripGallery

If you insert the PhotoAlbum plug-in into a page, it will redirect to the Gallery plug-in.
