Hello,

I need to create thumbnails of different size in each albums, is it possible?

I can put different watermarks on the photos that are uploaded? or must be the same in all the photos?

Thanks

A few methods come to mind; all require some coding and selective application of styles. Could maybe be done with a module, but that's not my specialty.
If you don't know how to code, you'll have a difficult time doing this.

One method would be to use a number of if statements to check the album id and to size accordingly. A better way would be to use the custom fields module to define the dimensions of each album's thumbs, then use that value (if present; if no defined value, fall back to defaults).

EDIT: Also, similar thread with similar considerations: http://galleryproject.org/node/104109

you could also resize through css by adding a class to the <body /> say using the parent_id something like:

<body class="album-<?= $item->parent_id ?>">

then in css:

.album-19 .thumbnail{
  width: 250px;
  height: auto;
}
.album-31 .thumbnail{
  width: 150px;
  height: auto;
}

your thumbs would need class <img class="thumbnail" />
you would want the real thumb to be at least as big as the largest thumb size as down scaling looks fine but up scaling can cause artifacts.

Ha! Never would've thought of that.
