I have it turned on. How do I get it to work?

The bigpopup also needs to be on.

You need to set the max size thresholds to use lightbox also. any images larger than those will use the bigpopup window

I can't get it to work either.

I have width to trigger lightbox as 1500 and height to trigger lightbox 1200

Popup for BIG images set to yes.

This is an uploaded image which is 1800 x 1350: Test image - Mu-43 Gallery

I don't see any setting for max size thresholds to use lightbox.

Your lightbox and tpzoom stuff is working that I see

I think I get it. I have the medium image size as 1024, so that is what is shown by default in the photo view. If the image is larger than 1024 wide but less than 1500, it shows in the lightbox after clicking on it. Larger than 1500 does the big popup. Is that how it's supposed to work with the settings I chose?

Nevermind, I've decided to disable the lightbox anyway. Thanks Chuck.

Correct that is how it works those are max thresholds for lightbox

have a good weekend just got inside from shoveling out of at least 2 feet of snow and its still coming down.

I heard you were getting a ton of snow down there! We moved from Ellicott City, MD to Boston this year, and it seems like we're getting less snow here than folks are getting in MD. Hope it settles down for you soon.

I grew up not far from there in woodlawn many years ago. I moved around a bit when I was younger but settled down up in Harford County in Abingdon near Bel Air. We have around 30 inches or close to it. It was around 23 inches when I was plowing this morning but it snowed all day. I need to go plow again.

30 inches is a lot for Maryland. When we lived in Baltimore, I remember we got about 20-24 inches once, the city didn't plow our street, and the block was shut down for about a week. Hope your power holds out and they get the streets plowed for you!

well all my power lines are underground so it hardler ever goes out here.

I agree... it's too confusing. I turned mine off as well.

Chuck S · February 11th, 2010, 11:45 AM

In Photopost Pro 7.01 you do need bigpopup window on to show large images.

SteveSteve · February 11th, 2010, 12:43 PM

It's just a confusing setup...

Chuck S · February 11th, 2010, 12:45 PM

yeah the way it works for lightbox is there has to be a maximum threshold to use lightbox because that javascript personally can only handle images so big. Therefore once you set your thresholds any images over the max sizes use the bigpopup window.

Now in Photopost Pro 7.01 bigpopup always has to be on if your using medium images because now that there is only one url to a category photo etc to display that large image it has to be shown in a popup window.
