How do I do this virtual book?

[dpurdy]

I am showing my ignorance of computer stuff but how would a person go about getting his portfolio of images in a page turning book like this one:

http://photography-now.net/emmet_gowin/portfolio1.html


PS I just ran across this photography-now.net place and it seems very interesting and quite large. Anyone else checking it out?

It appears to be a Flash application. Requires purchasing authoring software and then learning how to use it. You can do some interesting things with it, but so far, I have figured a way to justify the expense of the authoring software.

Hi Dennis;
Quite a few photograpers' sites use the free Simple Viewer flash application. http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer. It's not so much a flip book, but it's really easy to navigate. (unfortunately, my site at Googlepages doesn't support this kind of thing easily)

As far as I know, photography-now is the newest incarnation of artphotogallery.org, which has been on my bookmark list for a couple of years at least. The new site seems to have a great deal of interesting content. Kudos to them.

Cheers,

thanks for the link Toffle, I will see what I can do with it,
Dennis

Oh! What do you know? And here I am always accusing my wife of going around being blind.

Thanks,

You could take a look at www.myebook.com
I've been getting e-mails off them for a while now - not sure if there is any flexibility for embeding the software into your website without their branding and so on, but you may see something useful there.
