Arranging Lightboxes
This page allows you to create and delete a lightbox, move and copy images from one lightbox to another, and rearrange the images in a lightbox. You may also e-mail, print, and rename lightboxes from this page.
Viewing lightboxes
In order to view two lightboxes and exchange images between them, select "View two lightboxes" from the View Lightbox drop-down menu.
When you select the lightboxes to view from the Lightbox One and Lightbox Two menus, the lightbox images for each will appear below.
Lightbox notes and comments
Each lightbox has a Comments field that can contain a maximum of 30,000 characters, and each image in the lightbox has a Notes field with a maximum of 100 characters.
You may enter and edit comments for the lightbox you are viewing by typing in the Comments field. Click submit to save your comments or update any changes made to them.
If you have entered notes for an image, it will have the icon underneath it; an image without notes will have the icon underneath it. Hold your mouse over the notes icon to display notes. Click the notes icon to change the notes for an image. Please see the discussion of notes below for more help.
Previewing a lightbox image with its notes
Select a lightbox from the drop-down menu Lightbox One, and then click on the icon underneath an image within it. Its pop-up preview with image id, caption, and notes will be shown.
Creating a new lightbox
Type the name of your new lightbox in the New Lightbox field and click create. If a lightbox with the same name already exists, then a new lightbox will not be created.
Deleting a lightbox
Select a lightbox from either Lightbox One or Lightbox Two and click delete.
Removing images from a lightbox
Select a lightbox from either Lightbox One or Lightbox Two, check the images you want to remove, and click remove selected.
Copying images
In the View Lightbox menu, choose "View two lightboxes." Select a lightbox on the left and another one on the right. Check the images on the left that you want to copy to the right, and click copy -->. You can also copy from right to left by checking images in the right lightbox and clicking <-- copy.
If "include notes" is checked, then the notes will be copied. Otherwise, the copied images will not have notes. If you copy an image to a lightbox that already has that image, the notes will be overwritten.
Moving images between lightboxes
Images can be moved from one lightbox to another in a similar manner to how you copy them: Simply check the images to be moved and click either move --> or <-- move, depending on the desired transfer. Selected images are added to the lightbox you have chosen, and deleted from the lightbox you have moved them from.
Copying comments between lightboxes
The comments for the lightboxes are shown below the images. Click <-- comments to copy the comments from right to left, or click comments --> to copy them from left to right. You can also edit the comments by making changes to the Comments field and clicking the save button.
Moving an image within a lightbox
To rearrange the order of images in your lightbox, click on an image to select it for moving, move to the desired location, and click again to place it. The image will always be repositioned to the right of the image you move it to, unless you move it to the first image. You may use the scroll bar while moving an image: Move the image to the scroll bar, click and move the scroll, and the image will reappear. However, you cannot drag an image from one lightbox to another. To save a new image order for a lightbox, click save. If you select another lightbox without saving, your changes will be lost.
