VIEWING IMAGES IN LARGE-SIZE MODE

Each gallery of photos is initially presented in Lightbox view. You may change the number of images that are displayed on a single page. If there are more images in the gallery than can fit on a single page, there will be multiple pages of images. The images will appear like film slides in a lightbox. To view the images in Large-Size mode, click on any of the "slide" images.

When viewing gallery images in Large-Size mode, the buttons described below appear at the top of the window. If you do not move your cursor for a few seconds, the buttons automatically become hidden to allow viewing of the image without the distraction of the control buttons.
