Idea: Adobe Lightroom html5slides Web Export

Sunday September 11th, 2011

I've for some time used the excellent Simpleviewer and Autoviewer from Airtight Interactive (aka Felix Turner) to display my photo presentations (see my gallery). Up to now I prefered the Autoviewer, simply because it allows me to show larger photos in a nice way and do not need to create thumbnails manually as they are in Simpleviewer^[1].

However the big problem for me is that Autoviewer is Flash based only, while newer version of Simpleviewer can function in what they call Universal Playback - nice name for a pure browser based solution without any plugins required. In that way the photo presentation also run in non-flash capable browsers, e.g. the Safari browser on the iPad to take a representative example.

I got the idea that it might a good development project to program an Adobe Lightroom Web Engine for the excellent Google based html5slides code. That is capable of showing photos in each slide with headers etc, closely resembling the features of the Autoviewer. Then it would be easy from Lightroom to export to a html5slides presentation.
