Make any changes you'd like. Here are some examples:

  • Add images by either drag and drop onto the application or by using the "Add" button when you are in Explore mode.
  • Change the order of pictures by draging and dropping them into place.
  • Add captions to pictures by first making sure you are in Explore mode and then select Caption in the upper right corner and then enter it below the image.
  • Edit an image by double-clicking a thumb to open Edit view or hover the thumbnail and press Edit. Then use jAlbum application image tools in the tool bar above the image.
  • Change the thumb to represent your album by right-clicking an image thumb and choose "Use as album thumbnail"


3. Publish the updated album

First click the "Make album" button to apply any changes you have done, then click the "Publish" button to update your album. The jAlbum application will only upload the changes to your album, nothing else.


4. You're done! What's next?

If you were signed into the jAlbum application when making the album, it will automatically be updated on your jalbum.net page. Your contacts will also be notified about the update. Use the "Share" functions on to spread the word about your work.
