note that the Editbox has functions that had been in your Lightbox until

1. Bulk Downloading Previews from Search Results page
Download as
many previews as you need. Simply check-mark each thumbnail, then click
one of the Batch Download buttons (at the top or bottom of the page). It's
that easy. You will either get watermarked or unwatermarked files, depending
on your authorization level.
The screenshot
below shows the top Batch Download button, with two thumbnails marked for
zip download. Login is required for this function.

2. Editbox
Your Editbox
is a full-page workplace designed to let you customize your selection by
reordering and moving your Lightbox thumbnails. Clicking on the Maximize
icon on your Lightbox bar opens the Editbox. Use the slider bar to enlarge
the thumbs for closer inspection. Drag-and-drop your selects into the order
on your spec sheet, or any order you prefer. When you return to your Lightbox
the thumbnails will keep the order made in your Editbox- even when emailed.

Lightbox Sharing
You
can invite any other registered users of our website to work in your

users can actually add and delete images with you while you work.
To
invite
another user, go to the Lightbox Manager from the link in your Lightbox,
click "Share Lightbox," and enter the Username (Login Name)
of your invitee. Call or email them with the invitation. When they
login, they will see your Lightbox in brackets in their list. To end
sharing, return to the Lightbox Manager and click the "End lightbox
sharing" link.
Theoretically,
you can share your lightbox with every registered user of our website
(at the same time).

Several words used without
these tool-characters will be searched for inclusively (an AND-search).
There is no difference between upper- and lower-case letters.
Examples
| space
or plus sign
|
The
words sun and sea will be searched for and all pictures will be shown which
contain both words. |
| minus
sign

All
pictures will be found which contain the word "sun" without the
word "sea". |
| asterisk
|
All
pictures will be found with words which include the word "moon",
eg. "honeymoon". |
| semicolon
|
A
sharp search for the word "water", ie. "waterfall" will
not be found. |

Troubleshooting
Downloads on the Download Page
If nothing happens after
you have clicked on the download link, please use the following method:
With the cursor on the download-link, a long mouse-click for a "Mac" - or a
right-click on a"PC" - will open a dialogue window. Choose "save as" or "save
link as" then start the download.
Some operating systems and/or browsers will change the names of the pictures,
deleting the ending ".jpg", or transforming it into ".html". If this happens,
you will have to rename the picture after the download, for example: change
"980203LR01.html" into "980203LR01.jpg".

you are still having trouble after trying the above procedure***

from it's toolbar, or:
Mac- Command + R
PC- Control + R
PC- Internet Explorer:
right click inside window and click "Refresh"

Please call us if you
