I'm looking for a free alternative to SlideShowPro for a client. Ideally it should be open source, avoid Flash, and use JavaScript-based web gallery/slideshow techniques. I’m also interested in options that can present images in a way similar to Flickr-style display and basic image protection measures for copyrighted work. I’ve already looked at Gallery. What other options are worth considering?

Yes—there are many free JavaScript-based alternatives to SlideShowPro. Community suggestions include Galleria, Nivo Slider, GalleryView, SmoothGallery 2.0, and (E)2 Photo Gallery. Lightbox-style viewers are also worth exploring, and comparison lists such as a “Lightbox Clones Matrix” or roundup articles of jQuery image galleries can help you compare features quickly.
In general, moving from Flash to JavaScript/HTML-based galleries is the right direction for compatibility and maintainability. Just keep in mind that no web gallery can truly protect copyrighted images once they are delivered to a browser—at best you can discourage casual copying with display choices, overlays, disabled right-click scripts, lower-resolution uploads, or watermarking.
