That must have been a rather cold and somewhat icy measurement, Mark.

We are still using paper or pdf files for reports, so although I see the advantages of your nice web based pages for a race director who uses a smart phone to use during layout of the mile markers, I am hesitant to switch away from our present report standard with all info archived in a single pdf file.

I experimented with making a pdf file from your webpages, and after a small amount of fiddling with the settings on Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 on my PC I had a nice 12 page pdf with a single image and its caption on each page.

I played with my wife's iPhoto and found how to create an album, but although I could see the exif information, I could not work out how to get the selection which you have to appear under the photo with the location description which of course has to be typed. I could see the exif data in a panel on the side, but what do you ? Copy and paste?

I suppose there web publishing facility. I googled and found "Choose File > Export, and then click Web Page." It would be somewhat longwinded, but not impossible to dump the photo folder onto the iMac, produce a html album, then open that on a PC which has my Acrobat Standard and from that save the pdf, which subsequently I can integrate into my pdf report.

EDIT: I found the webpage export facility, saved the album on a USB (including the exif data). I then moved the USB to the PC with Adobe Acrobat and converted to PDF. Which looks very good - complete with the exifdata. So that looks to be the way to produce nicely laid out pdf pages.

Searching a bit more I see there is a photo gallery software called Piwigo which integrates with Shotwell which is the programme i have on my linux computer for filing photos. I will explore that so i dont have to use my wife's iMac. So thanks again for the tip.
