Managing album workflow

6. Find maps on the web (optionally)

You might have noticed how much a map can boost the visual impact of a gallery on the previous page. You can find lots of maps around the web by searching the images with Google's image search (e.g. type in 'Thailand map'). Load the high resolution one and save the it by right-clicking and choosing 'Save Image As...'. Please respect the copyrights!

The other option is using Google Maps. You can save by making a screenshot of the screen and pasting into an image editing software and cropping to the required size.

You can also use the standalone Google Earth application from which you can simply save the map with the 'Save Image' command. You can name the saved map as map.jpg (to be able to handle it more easy with Chameleon when building multiple galleries) and save within the corrected images.
