Title: IS Description Links - Thumbnails vs. Lightboxes
Post by: PaulieWalnuts on September 09, 2007, 14:40

In the IS description field I've seen people use thumbnails or lightboxes to link to other photos in their portfolio. What determines which approach is best to use?

i suppose how many other similar images you have.

if you have 50 similar images, a lightbox might be best.  If you have 2-10 maybe thumbnails would work..

I agree with Leaf and I also have another suggestion:

- A group of 5-6 images in the same series -> thumbnails
- A group of many images of the same subject -> lightbox
