Tutorial : Creating photo album in Drupal

I am absolutely amazed by various of ways to create a photo album in Drupal

Popular modules include:
Gallery: uses external gallery2 package
Acidfree: uses Taxonomy, Image, Video, and Views modules

Gallerix is another gallery module under active development.
It builds per-user album out-of-the-box. For each user, It creates a subfolder under files/gallerix/album/. Each image is NOT a node, which may be attractive for some people. However many features mentioned such as ajax commenting are available only with gallerix_widget_engine, which is not free. And I didn't see any batch uploading option beside using FTP.

brilliant_gallery also has quite some users.
It offers many features, particularly:
- Display and browsing through the images using slick Lightbox V2, or alternatively Thickbox, Greybox Redux.
However, only ftp upload is supported, and it doesn't provide per-user album. So it's good for single user photo site, but not ideal for a multi-user photo sharing website. Read more..
