'Galleries' are the primary format for displaying the Panorama Source photography collection. There are two general types: Galleries, that contain actual content, and Gallery Catalogs, which lead you to sub-catalogs or to actual galleries.
When you click the 'Galleries' tab in top menu of all pages, you enter the Galleries Main Catalog page. This is the 'Table of Contents' for all galleries. The Galleries Main Catalog is arranged primarily by country, but you'll also find general categories like Agriculture and Plants. You access each Gallery or Gallery Catalog by clicking on the thumbnail photos for it or on its title below the thumbnails.
The top level Gallery Catalog is the "Gallery Main Catalog" page. It leads to all of the others. Under each of the Gallery Main Catalog choices you'll find secondary (or sub-) catalogs that divide into categories like "landscapes", "cityscapes", etc. The number of lower level catalogs 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 Catalog 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.
The Gallery layout that you see here is used for Regular Galleries, Photo Search pages, Featured Galleries, Lightbox and History pages. They all look, feel, and operate the same way.
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.
This help page is accessible by the "Galleries Help" button in the upper right corner of all Gallery pages.
Gallery content pages contain "thumbnail" sized photos that flow to the bottom of the page in several columns. Hovering your mouse over (or touching) any thumbnail photo will display this preview popup with several button options.
Gallery, Lightbox, Order History and Search Tool thumbnail photos and Large Photo Views have various buttons underneath them for working with the photos. On any of these galleries you can mouse-over (or touch) an image and a photo preview will 'pop-up' displaying these buttons:
The Order Print button appears below the image in the mouse-over preview popup window. If you are interested in ordering a Fine Art Print (with or without a frame), clicking on this button will take you to the Ordering Options page where you can choose the size, see the price, crop the photo, choose the paper finish and set the number of copies. Then you can add this product to your shopping cart.
The Order Photo button appears below the image in the mouse-over preview popup window. If you are interested in ordering a Digital Photograph (in .jpg format), clicking on this button will take you to the Ordering Options page where you can choose the size (smaller sizes are free), see the price, crop the photo, and set the number of copies. Then you can add this product to your shopping cart.
The Enlarged View button displays a full screen, watermarked, version of the photo. In the upper left is a group of buttons for working with the photo.
You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out (or pinch with your fingers), or use the zoom in and zoom out button . There is also a full screen view button which acts as a toggle to take you in and out of full screen mode. You can use the button to go back to the most recent gallery, the to order a Fine Art Print (with or without a frame), the button to order a Digital Photograph (in .jpg format), the button for a large view of the photo where you can read more information about the photo, and if you right click on the image, you can download a Photo Comp with 'Save image as'.
The button allows you to share the photo on Facebook. The button allows you to share the photo on Pinterest. The button allows you to share the photo on Twitter.
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.
