Yet another gallery plugin. I was looking for a simple gallery where you can 
select a thumbnail, see the complete picture in a acceptable size but also have 
the oppertunity to see the details of the image. I searched the web for a way 
to do this and found the AnythingZoomer, a jQuery Plugin by Chris Coyier. I 
originally used this jquery plugin for this WordPress plugin.
In version 0.5 the plugin was completely re-written. The generated HTML is completely different, the JavaScript was re-designed and the CSS was created from scratch. Also inner zoom was introduced.
It works well for e-commerce sites like webshops or as a photo gallery.
It is easy to adapt if you would want to, but the default behaviour should be 
very much usable by anybody.
There is a settingspage to customize the images used and wheter or not to over- 
write the default gallery shortcode.
If you want to use this gallery, simply use the [superzoomgallery] shortcode in 
your post or page, or enable the overwriting of the gallery shortcode and use 
the default wordpress [gallery] shortcode in your post or page.
Since this is still an early version, I recommend to test it out first before taking 
it to a production site.
If you have any questions or problems, I would be happy to hear from you and help 
you if I can!
