It took me forever to find this album photos module, and I want to help others find this great Drupal module.   The name may be backwards, but If you need photo albums in your Drupal 6 site – this is the module – http://drupal.org/project/photos

Albums photo has solid album features to include:

*comment on images
* flash upload (need photos swfu.module)
* flash view image (need dfgallery)
* Multi-image upload, several uploads on one page, or upload and extract from compressed archive (zip file).
* Upload pictures from the cabinet.
* Import pictures from the server cabinet.
* Multiple access control settings; upload, edit, delete.
* Album quantity restrictions; limit the number of albums created.
* A variety of format thumbnails, specify image size.
* Provides image upload field for other content types.

Add to this module the dfgallery module – http://drupal.org/project/dfgallery and you have a very good looking album interface.

album photo module in slideshow mode

The first time you go to upload a group of photos for an album, you will be amazed how simply and easily you can upload photographs.  You can set the options to allow upload of as many as 50 photos at a time.  All of the options are selectable from the Photos Upload menu under Site Configuration.

One critical need in using albums photo is to make sure the theme you use is compatible with the module.  I discovered the problem when I was unable to get the slideshow to work in a test site.  The production site had the same modules and configurations, but the show would not work.  A change of theme and the slideshow began to work.
