We’re adding some great new options to the Viewbook image galleries. Here’s what’s coming:

Password protect your presentations
Protect your presentation with a password, so only people who received the password can view your presentation. Great for client presentations and stuff you like to keep private.

Google Analytics for individual presentations
You can add Google Analytics to see visitor statistics for each individual presentation.

Public Share function, so everybody can share your presentation
You can share your presentation from within the Image Manager, as we wrote in a previous post Share Viewbook Everywhere. We made it also possible that viewers of your presentation can share it to a wide range of websites and via e-mail. So they can help you promote your work. You can disable the share function when you don’t need it.

Transparent toolbar
We added a new setting for a transparent toolbar option that picks up the same color as the background of your image gallery (see picture above).

Embedded mini-view, now with toolbar options
When the size of the embedded Viewbook is smaller than 400 pixels all elements automatically scale down; the thumbnails, the logo and the toolbar. We now added extra toolbar options (see the picture above) to the embedded galleries, so people can: play/pause your slideshow, enable a fullscreen view, download the current image or share the gallery (Facebook/Blogger e.o.).

The new options are available within two weeks.
