|
|
Check this out! This is one of my new favorite things. Once installed you just click on a photo in an album and it automatically puts every photo in that album (even on subsequent pages!) into a single view that you can quickly navigate through.
PicLens works on many popular photo sites (Google images, Flickr, PhotoBucket, deviantArt, Facebook, etc.). It even works for YouTube. Couldn't be easier to use as long as you have a reasonable internet connection speed. It's really changed the way I view photos on the internet. Probably one of the best FREE things since Google Earth!
You can get it for Firefox here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579
Find out more about PicLens here:

(It also works on IE and Safari)
This topic was posted in the General board but it seems more applicable here as many people use links to their Flickr or PhotoBucket albums. Try it! |

So if you have it downloaded all you have to do is go to a site that supports PicLens.
Try here for example: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=nature+photography&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2
When you put your mouse on a picture, a "play" button will appear. Click on it and away you go! Just hit the "Esc" key or close to return.
It works particularly well for viewing multi-page albums.
You can also access it by pressing the blue "play" button in the top right corner of your Firefox browser. |
