I bought http://projects.nickstakenburg.com/tipped/ from the same author. Well done and constantly updated, never regretted. Maybe just give it some time.

Slightly off topic - since I cancelled my PayPal account they've refused to process any credit card payments using the card that was linked to my PayPal account, which happens to be my only credit card. This means that I'm unable to purchase anything from anyone who uses PayPal as their sole payment option. A bit of hunting on the interwebs shows I'm not the only person this has happened to

Why don't they do this open source and free. Isn't that something can be cloneable by a good JavaScript developer in a single day? I just don't get it.

An entire day of a good Javascript developers time is worth less than $75 to you?

Note that this is one-time fee and after that it will be open source. Selling it for 95€ (>170$) for each license is just a way of making too much money out of such an easy thing.

I like the "zoom" example - but it looks like there is more to the picture. Maybe you could include an indicator that shows when you have hit the edge of a page?

I looked at the source image and there wasn't any more to the image. Of course, the only reason I checked is because I had the same feeling, so I didn't like the panning. It didn't feel responsive, and I had to move the mouse all the way from the bottom to the top to pan the full image. If they tightened the panning and added a top indicator, it would be much better.

Or you could download http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox and set the height and width to a percentage. That has always worked for me. You can choose to put pretty much anything in there, not to mention that it is licensed under the MIT License.

Still great work though, you got my vote, hope you sell a bunch of licenses!

It's beautiful, gorgeous, clean, and elegant. And the little subtle lightened inner outlines on all the images just make them pop out from the black background without being visually intrusive. Very nice. I'm dying to use it on a project.

?) Does it support ajax and iframes?

!) "the next/prev arrows move underneath my cursor based on the size of the image." - You can use the 3rd example on the top row and keep the next/prev arrows outside the image, thus solving the problem.

!) "No arrow key support and er, why would I pay for a lightbox?" - If the author doesn't add it you can use this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2259690/how-to-get-the-ar... It's really easy to implement. Also, you should pay because it's a beautiful and elegant solution. Men and Apple fans agree, beautiful things come at a high price, and people do pay it. The price is a tad bit too high though.

The images used in the demo are beautiful but... man, Instagram filters have really taken their toll on video and images. The problem with style is that it eventually gets old.
