After experimenting with several of the leading photo editing/organizing tools including offerings from apple(iPhoto) and Adobe(Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks), I have decided to use Picassa2 for our online photo gallery needs. Besides the interface being excellent, I chose Picasssa2 becuase of how easy it was to create a custom photo gallery templates based on one of the standard templates.
To create your own Picassa2 Template first go into your Program Files/Picassa/web/templates folder and make a copy of one you would like to base your template off. Then change the first line of the index.tpl in order to give your template its own version number, name and description. You can then easily replace the Picassa Logo with any logo of your choice by simply saving your logo over in the assets folder. I added a little padding around my logo by modifing the css file in the assets folder. To the BODY i added "background-position: 10px 10px;". I also moved the photo caption below the photo for use as copyright by moving the <%itemCaption%> tag in targetlistelement.html . And that was about all it took to create a custom enterprise photo gallery.
