I don't normally like to pay for extensions, but will happily do so when it means they work easily.
I had some trouble getting this set-up initially, but once I figured things out, and got some help from the developer on the forums (who replied in like 2 hours!) I was set to go. So easy to use, looks clean and professional, and I feel confident that if I have any future troubles they'll be take care of quickly. Thanks!

As you can read in the other reviews, this is one of the nicest lightbox plugins I have seen. Installing is fast without any problems.
I was missing a download link in the opened picture and requested it. In only a view hours I got an updated version! Top service! Thanks a lot!

I searched long and hard for the perfect flickr plugin and my search ended when I found ArtSexyLightbox. When I purchased the plugin it did not support photo display from photosets but when I made an inquiry about photoset support, they said they would be implementing it in a few days. A week later it was supported. I had some customization questions and support took care of them within 24 hours. For $20, the plugin is worth every penny and the support is top notch. You will not be disappointed.

I love this extension. In my opinion it's far and away the prettiest lightbox, and easy to use.
The documentation is somewhat lacking, although this is more than offset by the helpful and responsive developers who responded to every query I had almost immediately.

The extension runs smoothly and has many options including easy Flickr integration. The developer answers quickly to the issues and also sends new improvements as they develop. The price is just right!

This is indeed one of the best looking image gallery extencions for joomla, and yes, it is sexy... Easy configuration and install make this one an obvious choice. And the support was absolutely great, the guys at artetics was helping me out right away! Thanks alot!
