Utilizing Lightboxes when Searching for Images

For anybody who is working on a project where you are searching multiple websites to find the right photos, it can be a challenge to keep track of the sources, sort out image selections, keep track of favored images and alternates, and communicate with clients and other third parties regarding all the various choices. Creating your universal Lightbox on MediaFocus.com will make this task a lot easier!
 
What is a Lightbox?
 
A Lightbox is a virtual space where you can put images you find that might work for your project and come back later to review and make your selection. The Lightbox feature at MediaFocus.com does not only allow you to add images from our own we bsite but also embed links to images you find on any other website. Your Lightbox becomes a centralized tool for all image selections!

-         create multiple Lightboxes (one for each project)
