Overall, try to keep the interface simple, with few effects (sliding, scaling, etc are generally annoying unless they are very fast and not too noticable)

Good work! I look forward to a release.

Then back to low when an animation is being done.<br /> <br /> Try this: www.kaourantin.net Looks good, nice work.

Good job though...you should tie it into the Fireworks Album Creator 1.0<br /> <br /> http://www.fireworksguru.com/fwalbumcreator <br /> <br /> ;) Yeah and another thing I would do is tint the background 70% black so the image stands out above the background.

(too heavy for my old 1ghz cpu)<br /> And the navigation in the full size image should be disabled when you're at the start or end of the category (some sort of indicator would also be nice..like "image 1 of 2") I liked everything except:
