Whats that picture plugin called?

Maybe its not a plug-in but.... when you click on an image on someones portfolio and it brings it up in a new window that allows you scroll to the next one and so on... What is that called and how do I use it?

It's called Lightbox.

I use it on my site, works pretty darn well, I think it's just some of my images that gimp out.
I design (v4.1 released 23/2) and Tweet.

Lightbox is overused and sluggish. Highslide is much easier for users to interact with and it looks better:

It also degrades well with no JS on.

That's nice.

Might use that instead of Lightbox. Cheers Blink!
