Magic Thumb™ is a fantastic way to enlarge thumnbail images using a JavaScript lightbox effect.
One reason why Magic Thumb™ is popular is that the user stays on the same page. You don't need to load a new page or use popup windows. It just loads immediately on click.
The user experience is rich - people like the web 2.0 lightbox enlarge effect. Users appreciate that it is immediate - the large image enlarges on click without waiting for it to download. This gives a better experience than waiting (as with an AJAX lightbox that requests images on demand).
You can display an unlimited number of images on a page. Large images have large file sizes, so be sure to compress your images with a good ratio of size to quality (aim for a JPEG filesize of 30-70kb). You can use JPEG, PNG or GIF.
Two images are required for Magic Thumb™ - one large image (about 450-550 pixels height) and one thumbnail image (about 80-120 pixels height).
