Jetpack Carousel

­
.fusion-fullwidth-1 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }

The Carousel lightbox from a plugin called Jetpack is very unique. Its EXIF display capability appeals to photographers. Also, it has the space to host a vast amount of captions. So in case you write novel-length descriptions for photos or telling a story, this lightbox is for you. Visitors can interact with your photos using the comments below each photo.

.fusion-fullwidth-2 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }

How does Jetpack Carousel look like?

It's a full screen lightbox that comes with a dark and a light theme. Click on the photos to see it in action!

Is Jetpack Carousel a good choice for me?

It has certain benefits that no other lightbox can offer. The most important is the commenting ability and the EXIF support.

How do the settings look like?

This is one amazing plugin. I've purchased and used this plugin on several sites. I had some hosting configuration problems that the developer was able to identify and helped me a great deal and very quickly. No hesitation in buying this again.

I won't talk about how great and versatile the JIG plugin is because that seems well established by many other users. What most don't speak of is the support from Firsh, the developer. When I have needed some help or had some basic questions Firsh has always responded. More so, he gave complete and accurate answers every time. This guy really knows his stuff! You can buy this plugin in complete confidence that you will get support if you need it.

This is a very well designed tool making easy work of our image galleries hosted locally and our galleries hosted on Flickr. It has a great interface and lots of custom options. Customer support has also been great when needed -- extremely fast. I highly recommend this great product.
