Does anyone know if acid free is coming soon? Or can you recommend a solution for photo galleries that don't look generic. Also mass import would be nice.

The best solution is to use Views and a custom node type, sorry, content type, haha. It takes a lot of setup time, but it's worth the effort. You can't get a mass import function for node posting, though.

To make a custom gallery, use the following modules: Views (for making a gallery page/block), CCK (custom fields), Filefield (CCK file upload functionality), Imagefield (CCK image upload for Filefield), and Imagecache (for resizing/cropping images). You may also want Lightbox2 for a nice overlay effect for seeing zoomed images. Thickbox also works for this.

Acidfree works well without any serious trouble for Drupal 6 and is my favorite
