: Photo management utilities I'm about to develop a web site for a new client. It's not going to be very intense, but one requirement is that, if possible, the client wants to be able to manage

If they have a lot of photos using a hosted service like smugmug.com could be a nice option. They also allow you to embed galleries on your website, but all the uploading and arranging is done on their website.

It would be helpful to know which gallery you will be using on the frontend. For example if it was Galleria or similar or something different.

With that said, I will add some options for you to checkout as well.

I find clients really enjoy SlideShowPro Director. It's a commercial product though, is well worth the price.

GalleryCMS is a free CMS for images and galleries.

I've never actually tried this so, I'm not postive it will be a good fit or not though, you can check out ZenPhoto as well.

You could give CKFinder a try. It provides a file browser which supports basic copy & paste, file uploading, thumbnails, picture resizing and HTML form integrations. And you can modify it to suit your own needs since it's open-source. I think it is perfect for photo managing.

Demo avaliable here.

Um... I found a good alternative to CKFinder, it's called AjaXplorer. It provides a neat interface, plus user management system, and a simple tool allowing users to get a public url of a file. It also allows users to set file permissions and metadata. Demo here(username/pw="demo").
