Add effects to your images

There are some useful ways to add effects to the images that you will decide to upload them on your website. The advantage of using those effects is that they will make your website more attractive and thus encourage them to return to either take another look at it or to try to find out where you got these effects from. Here are some references for you and for your future users, in a Javascript and CSS format:

Lightbox

This software will allow you to overlay images to your website. The advantage of this is that it works with all the new browsers that are not normally compatible with alike programs.

Slimbox

Alike the Lightbox, the Slimbox provides several feautures like overlay images, cloning of images and the ability to use your arrow keys to navigate all through your images as features (to name a few). It is a very effective tool that I thus recommend to anyone who does not like to lose time uploading and downloading heavy images.

Greybox

Greybox is a great tool that will help you spend much time with understanding and using the software. This is because everything is done automatically for you. Also, the program is not bulky (only 22KB) and you will not have problems with pop-up blockers, always trying to prevent it from working efficiently.

Thinkbox

Using Javascript, this little piece of software will allow you to display your image, several images, as well as your contents using AJAX in a modal that is hybrid.

Lightwindow

Much alike Thnkbox, it will allow you to make use of images as well as animations that you will be able to upload on your website. All is hassle-free!
