I want to have a front page gallery that is comprised of images from different channels, and I want to have the title of the channel that the image comes from to appear with the image.
My plan was to create an entry called "Front Page Gallery" and load it with stored images.
Additionally, I want to be able to create a link to the gallery section that the image is originally from.
Any ideas?

Sort of going with parscale's suggestion below, I used instead {image:entry_id} this way, but it didn't solve my issues:
<!--title info and link-->
{exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" entry_id="41" limit="1" disable="categories|member_data|pagination"}
{exp:channel_images:images entry_id="{entry_id}" exclude_category="closed"}
<a class="frontlink" href="{title_permalink="portfolio/gallery"}">From the
{exp:low_replace find="31|32|33" replace="GallerySPACE1|GallerySPACE2|GallerySPACE3" multiple="yes"}
<em>{image:entry_id}</em>
{/exp:low_replace}
series.</a>
{/exp:channel_images:images}
{/exp:channel:entries}
So with this, I'm able to generate a caption for each image that gives the name of the entry it is originally from (e.g., "Gallery 1") by manually using Low Replace to convert the entry ID of each image to the name of the entry. But I find this really clunky and not good as new entries are added. So I'm trying to find a more automatic way to get the original entry name of the image.
Next issue is in trying to create a link from the image's entry name to the first image in it's original gallery: right now what I've got (and it's not working) is this link:
href="{title_permalink="portfolio/gallery"}"
But this doesn't work. What I need is this link:
href="{title_permalink="portfolio/gallery/gallery_1"}"
Any thoughts also as how to get the image's original entry short name into the link?
