  This is one of my all-time favorite extensions for impressive design. While Dreamweaver is capable of doing all sorts of tricks and acrobatics with images, it’s not always fun to dig in and modify everything on your own. Thumbnails Viewer lets you select a given element on a page (usually a picture of some sort) and create an enlarged or alternate image that pops up upon scroll-over. This is a great way to save on load times and bandwidth on heavy pages by using small images and still letting visitors catch a glimpse of the full size without having to navigate away from the page. It’s been wildly popular among my design clients.
  An especially nice element of this extension is that it’s virtually mess-free; there’s no meddling with server-side stuff or intensive modifications or directory creations. This makes it ideal for pages that have a lot of thumbnails, as repeating the process for inserting a thumbnail enlargement only takes a few seconds. A fairly simple interface helps to cut down on the time commitment even more, and I haven’t run into a single bug during use, which can be especially rare for image-intensive extensions. I think the cost on this is more than reasonable and recommend it for anyone working with lots of pictures.
