Lightbox


Adding images to a Lightbox
You can add images to a Lightbox from any Image Search Results or Photo category page by clicking the 'Add to Lightbox' link that appears below any image. The image will be added to your active Lightbox. You will be able to see the added photo in the lightbox thumbnail area (on the left hand navigation).

After an image is added to a Lightbox, a 'Remove from Lightbox' will appear. To remove an image from your active Lightbox, click this link.


Opening a Lightbox
To open your Lightbox, click on ‘View My Complete Lightbox’ link under the Lightbox thumbnails. The last active Lightbox will display, or if you have not yet created a Lightbox on the site, the default Lightbox will display.


Activating and viewing different Lightboxes
Within the lightbox thumbnail area, in the left-hand navigation area, the Lightbox name that displays in the drop-down menu is your active Lightbox. When you click 'Add to Lightbox' under any image, the image will be added to this Lightbox. To activate a different Lightbox, select a different Lightbox from this drop-down menu.

When you are in the Lightbox page, you will see the selected lightbox photos as large thumbnails. To view a different Lightbox, select it from the drop-down menu. The screen will refresh and display the images contained in the new Lightbox. If your chosen Lightbox is empty, no images will display.


Creating a Lightbox
To create a new Lightbox, click 'Create a new Lightbox'. In the popup window, enter a name for your new Lightbox, and then click 'Create'. The Lightbox you create will automatically become your active Lightbox.
You will follow the same process if you want to create a new lightbox from within the lightbox detail page.


Saving a Lightbox

To save an active lightbox, click ‘Save Lightbox’ link either in the lightbox detail page or in the lightbox thumbnail area.


Renaming a Lightbox / Save As
When in the lightbox detail page, to rename a Lightbox, click 'Save Lightbox As'. Enter a new name for the Lightbox then click Save'. The Lightbox you rename will automatically become your active Lightbox.


Emailing a Lightbox
You can share a Lightbox with others by emailing it to them. They'll receive email containing a link to the Lightbox (with the thumbnail images, image numbers, title and notes). They won't be able to add or remove images or access any of your other Lightboxes (or any of your account information), but they can add notes to the images in the Lightbox and purchase any of the images.

To email a Lightbox, choose the Lightbox you wish to send from the drop-down list. Then click on 'Email This Lightbox' link. Select the Lightbox you want to send and fill in the 'Recipients' and 'Message' fields.

You can send the same Lightbox to several different people; just enter multiple email addresses in 'Recipients', separating them with semicolons.


Downloading the complete set
You can download all selected images within a particular lightbox by clicking on ‘Download as ZIP’ link. All the images will then be downloaded to your computer as a Zip archive.
