Why can't people scroll for vertical shots? What is the requirement that the entire picture be shown onscreen?
If it's a real issue, change the gallery behavior to display a naked image when you click on the larger size. That way the image will scale to the size of the viewer's browser window, and they can enlarge it if desired. On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 4:01 PM, Brian Walters <supera1...@fastmail.fm> wrote: > 4.
