Slidedeck is not really gallery management but rather just a slider plugin that can use many sources, including NextGEN Gallery, 500px, Instagram and more.
FooBox also doesn’t have gallery management but is designed to add a beautiful lightbox to your WordPress galleries.
Uber Media lets you import Flickr, 500px and Instagram photos to your WordPress website.
WP Shutter is a newer WordPress gallery plugin available. There isn’t any obvious bulk management but you are able to sell and proof photographs from within the plugin.
Tn3Gallery is similar to NextGEN Pro (currently), and is also a premium WordPress gallery plugin.
So whether you’re using the Photocrati theme or another WordPress theme, know that there are many WordPress gallery plugin options, and there even more than what we’ve listed here.
One thing that I recommend and will always recommend for any WordPress gallery plugin is to find one that is responsive and JavaScript based. That way no matter what device the end-user is viewing the gallery on it will look beautiful. Extra bonus points for one that has full-screen capabilities like the NextGEN Pro Lightbox.
If you’d like to see more options do a Google search or search at WordPress.org and CodeCanyon for tons of results.
