Hi Mke,
the program used to create what you are viewing via the web is showitweb. it has been around for a while now. it is the defacto standard. i have an action to handle the album style graphic for the images that I convert to make it look like a real book. i think gary fong and his version of showit called albumshowcase can do this for albums but it is not adjustable. i tweaked the action for my stuff based on the originals which were created for GraphiStudio albums. from wedding to 60 pg book preview was 12 days. you are previewing the book preview.
i use a third party app that reads the showitweb files and creates a file i use to interface inside pro show gold to instantly publish a dvd that is EXACTLY like the web show. Brilliant!!! We charge $50 for that conversion, fyi. Putting things on CD is soooooo yesterday. I have purged all processes that do that. If you can't see it on the web or view it on a HD screen, I won't even bother. Just a byproduct of today's clients, both bridal and corporate. As a side note, I'll never put one on here, but this is very lucrative for me in the funeral business for those wanting to think out of the box.
Hope that helps. I don't post much, but check out some of ray somearsarno's (sp) postings. Those are really inspirational. I've been active for almost 3 years, don't post much, but there are some real photographers on here I really like.
