The front end gallery can be configured in the following ways- * Height and width of your gallery. * Transition effect. * Transition time. * Optional lightbox effect to original image. * Choose whether or not to display a "pager" which can contain nothing (just empty squares), numbers or thumbnails. Thumbnail sizes are configurable. * Order the images by dragging them. Uploading images is done through a simple interface that allows you to upload multiple images at once (only limited by your server's execution time and maximum file size). You can then edit the image to adjust crop, scale and rotation. Any changes you make to an image can be easily reverted back to the original image at any time. If you have an Amazon S3 account your images will be uploaded there saving bandwidth and storage costs. == Installation == 1.
