Quite often we are asked to build websites with photo galleries for our clients. They want the ability for people to see their club or restaurant when there is a party going on, and to see what kinds of people generally show up. Photo Galleries are a fun way to showcase a club or restaurant in a casual and candid way. People who view the websites gallery are generally wanting to know what they should expect when they show up - what kinds of people come to the club and what they should wear. Is this an upscale club where I will be dancing all night or a place I can go to hang out at the bar and relax?

These photos of parties and crowds are generally shot over the last few years and have collected on a main computer somewhere or on multiple CDs they have been keeping.

Mixing up the horizontal and vertical images makes resizing using Photoshop Actions pretty much a pain.
