vBPicGallery uses Slideshow 2! a javascript class for Mootools 1.2 to display and animate images on your website. On the gallery home page there is a 400x300 slide show which when clicked takes you to the hall of the owner of that picture. On the view gallery page which is 640x480 when the slide show is clicked, the full image pops out in a light box frame.

Slide Show Gallery Pan/zoom
A setting the the ACP options for vBPicGallery turns this on and off. (default is off) Animation is done with the KenBurns add on and the pan and zoom setting can be experimented with by editing forums/clientscript/vbpg_slideshow/slideshow.kenburns.js and changing the pan and zoom settings. We set the pan and zoom very subtle at 100,100 and 10,10.

Slideshow.KenBurns = new Class({
	Extends: Slideshow,

	options: {
		pan: [100, 100],
		zoom: [10, 10]
	},

The pan and zoom can be useful when your gallery has small, wide or tall images that the slide show may re-size and display only a focal point of. With pan and zoom the picture will move giving the illusion of seeing whole image.

Here is info on the slide show settings if needed.
