It may be useful when you need to attach many images to the same post. This plugin divides your wordpress gallery into several dynamic pages. It can works in two ways: modifying the <code>[gallery]</code> shortcode output or do not affect it when you use <code>[pgallery]</code> shortcode instead. The following settings of the plugin are available: number of images per page, hide or show edit attachment link, and the same as in standard wordpress gallery: number of columns, preview size, link from preview, tags of items, captions and previews, sort order, exclude some attachments.
Note that if you set the plugin to [pgallery] mode then you may use both [gallery] and [pgallery] shortcodes in your blog. For instanse, you may apply another plugin to replace standard [gallery] output. When activating first, the Paged Gallery plugin is set to [gallery] mode.
<h3>Sample</h3>
Here is a sample of using this plugin <a href="http://andrey.eto-ya.com/chernihiv-photo" title="Chernihiv: city and historical places" rel="nofollow ugc">Chernihiv Photos</a>.

Divides your wordpress image gallery into several pages.

Importance: 
From 0.7.1, the default view changed to Colorbox due to the license regulation by the plugin directory. If you would prefer the prior Lightbox to Colorbox, you need to get the script from the setting page.
The Lightbox Gallery plugin changes the view of galleries to the lightbox.
<ul>
<li>Lightbox display of Gallery</li>
<li>Tooltip view of caption of images </li>
<li>Displays the associated metadata with images</li>

<h3>How to use</h3>
How to use this plugin is basically the same as the way to add [gallery] which has been adopted 
by over WordPress 2.5. Lightbox Gallery plugin automatically converted the default view of gallery 
into the lightbox view. Photo captions are displayed as tooltips. Photo descriptions are displayed 
when the lightbox pops up.
<h3>Advanced settings</h3>
There are three additional options to extend the shorttag [gallery].
<ul>
<li>lightboxsize</li>
</ul>
The image size when the lightbox pops up. The default is medium, but you can change to full.
[gallery lightboxsize=”full”]
<ul>
<li>meta</li>
</ul>
Defines whether the exif information is displayed. The default is false. 
If you want to show the photo info, set true. The exif shown on the lightbox includes camera body, 
aperture, focal length, shutter speed, and created timestamp.
[gallery meta=”true”]
<ul>
<li>class</li>
</ul>
Adds a class attribute of the gallery. The default is <code>gallery1</code>.
[gallery class=”gallery2″]
<ul>
<li>nofollow</li>
</ul>
Adds the attribute, rel=”nofollow”. The default is false.
[gallery nofollow=”true”]
<ul>
<li>from, num</li>
</ul>

Lightbox Gallery

Really, nothing works as expected, looks broken and counter-intuitive. 

It is beyond any definition of bad

The Lightbox Gallery plugin changes the view of galleries to the lightbox.
