JavaFX gives ou the freedom and flexibility to design wonderful Rich Internet Applications. This collection of best JavaFX Photo Applications will showcase the best Phot Gallery applications in JavaFX.

1. An Easy Image Carousel

With the JavaFX technology it is easy to build your own customized carousel with a simple graphics operation and binding.

2. 3-D Display Shelf With the PerspectiveTransform

The PerspectiveTransform built into JavaFX can be used to easily create 3-D effects. This sample shows you how to build a 3-D display shelf using the PerspectiveTransform and a few calculations.

3. Accessing Flickr's REST API From JavaFX

InterestingPhotos is a simple JavaFX application that displays "interesting" photos retrieved from Flickr using Flickr's REST API.

Information about "interesting" photos is obtained by performing an HTTP GET request on Flickr's flickr.interestingness.getList API call by using the JavaFX asynchronous HTTP API (javafx.io.http.HttpRequest). The response document is parsed by using the JavaFX XML pull parser (javafx.data.pull.PullParser) to extract information about the photos. The photos are then fetched and displayed in Stage as a grid. The user can click the thumb image to load the normal image. Clicking the normal image again returns the UI to thumb image view.

4. JavaFX Flickr Client 

Mosaic is a client for Flickr. It uses Flickr's REST API (flickr.photos.search) to search and obtain pictures from Flickr based on its tags. By default the images obtained from Flickr are scattered around the border of window. Image will be zoomed when its dragged from border towards center. If mouse is moved out of Image, size is restored and image is moved towards border of window. 

5. Using Perspective Transform for a 3-D Flip Transition

You can easily create 3-D transitions in JavaFX by using the PerspectiveTransform effect.

6. Animating Photos from Flickr

The sample fetches pictures from the Flickr web service, based on the tag you type. It animates the pictures in such a way that those which have common tags “flock” together. You can select a picture with a mouse. The picture will be double-sized and you will be able to see tags assosiated with it. The tag list can be scrolled. Clicking a tag from the list puts the tag in the search field and the sample starts fetching new pictures. When you select a picture and click it, the picture is expanded to full screen and a large image is loaded. Press any key or click the large picture to return it to the smaller image size again. 

7. JavaFX Wall of Thumbnails

The thumbnail is centered on a stage. Clicking the thumbnail displays a scaled-up version of the image and its file name (the only available metadata thus far). A second click hides the larger image.

8.  Caesar’s Photobook – An JavaFX Mobile Application

For my graduation project, I was asked to investigate the possibility of the new RIA platform of Sun Microsystems called JavaFX. To have a good view of it’s possibilities I thought I could better just try it out! Therefore I’ve developed two applications. The last application is a mobile application, which I’ve also developed to compete in the JavaFX Coding Challenge.
Here’s a list of functionalities of the application:
* Starting the application in the mobile emulator,
* Parsing the album and photo data from the xml files into the data model
* Easy navigation between screens
* Showing albums, with a cover, title, caption and more..

9. Pet Catalog Photos : JavaFX Example Application

Pet Catalog Photos is a simple JavaFX application that displays pet photos retrieved from a RESTful Pet Catalog app (implemented using JAX-RS) described in an earlier blog entry and in this screencast.  This JavaFX example is a modification of the Interesting Photos : JavaFX Example Application.
