Creating gallery components that display digital assets stored in the CQ DAM

You can create an interactive gallery component that lets your AEM users engage with your Adobe CQ web site by viewing and clicking on images. When a user clicks on a thumbnail version of an image, a larger view of the image appears. In this workflow, the component retrieves images from the Adobe CQ Digital Asset Management (DAM) repository.

The CQ DAM is a digital asset management tool that is fully integrated with the CQ platform and enables your enterprise to share and distribute digital assets. Users across an organization can manage, store, and access images, videos, documents, audio clips, and rich media such as Flash files for use on the web, in print, and for digital distribution. For more information, see CQ Digital Asset Management.

Assume, for example, that you are developing an Adobe CQ visual gallery component for a travel company interested in creating an online digital marketing campaign. The component lets visitors to the web site obtain an engaging experience by viewing different cruise images.
