'Galleries' are the primary format for displaying the Panorama Source photography collection. There are two general types: Galleries, that contain actual content, and Gallery Indexes, which lead you to subindexes or to actual galleries.
When you click the 'Galleries' tab in top menu of all pages, you enter the Galleries Main Index page. This is the 'Table of Contents' for all galleries. The Galleries Main Index is arranged primarily by country, but you'll also find general categories like Agriculture and Plants. You access each Gallery or Gallery Index by clicking on the thumbnail photos for it or on its title below the thumbnails.
The top level Gallery Index is the "Gallery Main Index" page. It leads to all of the others. Under each of the Gallery Main Index choices you'll find secondary indexes that divide into categories like "landscapes", "cityscapes", etc. The number of lower level indexes varies according to how each area of the collection is organized. As new areas of the collection become available, they will be added to the Galleries pages.
All Gallery Index pages display example thumbnail photos from each of the underlying galleries. This allows you to preview the gallery's contents before you visit it. You may see different numbers of sample thumbnail photos depending on the speed of your internet connection (low speed connections generally display only one thumbnail photo to speed up your viewing experience). You'll also notice that the photos will alternate, as well as change position, each time you visit.
Gallery content pages contain eight \"thumbnail\" sized photos each. Clicking on any thumbnail photo will display a large photo view. Due to limitations in computer screen size and browsers, the quality of photos able to be displayed on this site is much lower than that of the products themselves.
They are titled with the Gallery's name and current page, and are navigated by clicking on the page numbers in the Page Index Line in the Gallery's header and footer which looks like this:
Pg 1 | Pg 2 | Pg 3 | Pg 4 | Pg 5 | Pg 6 | Pg 7 | Pg 8 | Pg 9 ...
All of the available pages are listed here. The current page is displayed in the title area, and in "non-clickable" black in the header/footer. You always enter a Gallery on page one, but you can skip to whichever page you wish. If there are more than 10 pages, you will see a "Next" link to access those greater than 10. If you are on a page greater than 10, you will see a "Prev" link to access those that precede the list of pages in the header.
This help page is accessible by the "Help" button in the upper right corner of all Gallery pages.
The Gallery format that you see here is also used for Photo Search pages, as well as for Lightbox and History pages. They all look, feel, and operate the same way.
Gallery, Lightbox, History and Search Tool thumbnail photos and Large Photo Views have various Order Buttons underneath them for working with the photos:
The Info button is used to access the Product List> page which displays all of the available products for the current photograph. These include prints, royalty free and rights protected digital licenses, note cards, postcards and notecard collections and postcard collections.
The Order Details button appears in the Order History gallery. This gallery appears when you click on the 'Order History' link in the footer. You do need to be logged in to your account. The gallery displays all of the photos you have ever purchased from $compname. Clicking on the 'Order Details" will display the Order Detail page which shows all of the details for the order the photograph was part of.
The Enlarged View button displays a full screen, watermarked, version of the photo. Here, you can use the button to buy a photo, the button to add it to your lightbox, the to return to the last gallery, or you can right click on the image and download a Photo Comp. You can also obtain a Enlarged Photo View by clicking on the thumbnail photo in the gallery.
Clicking on the 'Lightbox' button will add the photo to your lightbox (in the first position) and change to the 'Your Lightbox' page.
If you are on the Lightbox page, you will see the 'Delete' button which allows you to remove photos from your Lightbox.
If you are on the Lightbox page, you will see the 'Sequence' input box which allows you to change the order sequence of the photos in your lightbox. To move the photo to the first postion - enter '0'.
