I use this image gallery extension as a way to “stamp” a gallery into most sites I create, as the basic CSS foundation allows for a great range of tweaking possibilities. The standard gallery created with this extension is visually very impressive, with smooth movements, nice transitions between thumbnails, and a sensible layout that doesn't make users click around or spend extra time navigating a site to see the content of their choice. Having a fairly intermediate knowledge of CSS will make this extension extremely powerful for designers, but the code-averse will be glad to know that a bare minimum proficiency with the language will do just fine. The extension is a pleasure to use with straightforward dialog boxes and basic options that allow for customization without getting confusing. Using the basic on-board gallery, you can simply specify the location of the file and change names accordingly to whip up a great looking gallery in a few minutes. I've seen sites with image galleries of lower quality sell for far more than this extension's basic price; it's a great bargain for any designer.
