Lightbox is a simple, unobstrusive script
that showcases images by superimposing them on a web page. It’s easy to use and can be installed on standard web sites and blogs. Check out my post that showcases the illustrations of popular celebrities by Pablo Lobato to see how Lightbox works; click on a thumbnail to display the larger version of the image.

Difference between web designer and web developer

Your website is indeed very informative… I would be very thankful if you could kindly clear my confusion. My website looks fine when I tested on my computer but when it is loaded at the server and viewed later using IE, some images are not displayed on the web site.

If you are a web site designer, I’m sure you will appreciate this neat tool. Typically, clients provide the designer with images and photographs around which the web site layout needs to be created. The first step is to find the colors that will complement these images and photographs. I know you can use the dropper tool of your favorite image editing program but only this gives the color of the selected pixel. What web designers actually need are the predominant colors in the image.
