Django Photologue 1.0 Released

Photologue, after several revisions, refactorings and the addition of many new features, is finally being released as a complete product. The database schema is set, the documentation is finished, and I think it's damn nice piece of software.

From the project page:

Photologue is a Django application, more specifically, it's a complete image management solution for your Django site. Photologue replaces the ImageField in Django with a powerful system that supports resizing and image effects as well as providing a turn-key photo gallery solution. Photologue embraces the Django admin and smoothly integrates with photo thumbnails and effect previews.

Get the files and read the docs.

    Thanks for releasing this. I've been looking at Django because of its auto-admin area, but this is the first real image solution I've come across and is the incentive I need to give both a try.

    Looking at one of the sample galleries it seems to be cropping vertical images when creating the thumbnails. I hope it's possible to make all thumbs the full image with the same height, but with varying width to maintain aspect ratio.

    Photologue will only crop your images if "crop to fit" is selected. If 2 dimensions are supplied it will resize the image to fit within those dimensions. If 1 dimension is supplied it will resize the image to that dimension regardless of the other. All methods maintain aspect ratio.

    Here is the relevant documentation page: http://sites.google.com/a/justindriscoll.us/photologue/Documentation/Photo-Sizes

    Hi Justin-

    This looks promising for a project I have in mind, but I am a bit new to Django/Python. Had planned to write from scratch, but can't seem to get enough free time from my day job to do it. Just curious- do you have any example galleries that show this in action? Would love to see some examples.

    I want to do this for a 3D gallery, and have a Java 3D plugin already that I want to hand off the images to.

    Thanks,
    Jeff
