Flickr has announced that visitors who browse the site using an iPad can now view photos using a lightbox-style viewer. On any photo page, simply tap the picture you'd like to view and the background will darken and the higher-resolution image will load in the foreground. It's a subtle change, but one which definitely makes browsing Flickr on an iPad a more enjoyable (and efficient) ...

YoxView is one of my favorite lightbox implementations. I've used it in the past to show you how to add an awesome Picasa or Flickr slideshow to your website. YoxView's development has progressed by leaps and bounds since then, and version 2.0 brings some interesting improvements to the table, including: Skinning support: I think this one's pretty unique.

If that's a little hefty for your taste, check out Litebox, a drop-in replacement for Lightbox that looks like ...

Greased Lightbox is a nifty Greasemonkey (and Creammonkey for Safari) script by Joe Lencioni that I came across yesterday. When it finds links to image files, clicking those links causes the image to pop up with the suddenly-popular "lightbox" effect rather than navigating away from the linking page. Not only is it a cool effect, it makes browsing image galleries and Google Images a lot ...
