noobSlide is a mootools based slide show gallery. You can see 7 different styles of images galleries / slide shows. I think they are working smoothly and looking nice. However, I particular like example 6 and 7. If your web application / website is already using mootools, noobSlide is definitely a good choice to power your image gallery. noobSlide is licensed under MIT License.
Requirements: Mootools Framework

FancyBox is similar to lightbox-like tools, but with kinda different image zooming script for those who want something fresh. It is powered by great javascript library – jQuery, tested with IE6, IE7, Firefox. It supports single or a group of images as other gallery scripts. Zooming in and out effects are customizable. CSS is seperated from js code to improve speed and customization. I really like the loading animation which is inside the thumbnail rather than in the center of the whole screen.

jQuery, jQuery, jQuery, jQuery again. There are lots of nice application written in jQuery. Galleria is a javascript image gallery written in jQuery. It loads the images one by one from an unordered list and displays thumbnails when each image is loaded. It will create thumbnails for you if you choose so, scaled or unscaled, centered and cropped inside a fixed thumbnail box defined by CSS. The core of Galleria lies in it’s smart preloading behaviour, snappiness and the fresh absence of obtrusive design elements. Use it as a foundation for your custom styled image gallery.
Above is a demonstration shows you some more advanced effects you can accomplish with the Galleria plugin. The history object is also active that you can click the back button in your browser and bookmark a page. The next and previous links are simple to create since the galleria object has two public functions for traversing the images in your list.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

The image transition manager is a javascript library based on scriptaculous and prototype. It supports several image transitions, such as fading, appearing, sliding, growing and shrinking. Because it uses the unobtrusive javascript technique, no inline javascript is needed and hyperlinks still function when javascript is disabled.
I think the script works really great, you can have 8 (more to come) image transition effects to spice up your site. However, I found it a bit slow to load the image first time. It would be much better if the script preloads all the images beforehand.
Requirements: Scriptaculous 1.7.3 beta and Prototypejs 1.5.1.1 Framwork

Lightview was designed from the ground up to make the overlaying experience as nice as possible. The idea was to have the image be the most important thing while the box is there to present it without interfering with it. That is why the author has created the animated side buttons to make sure the image is always 100% visible. Button around the image will change in opacity, having lighter buttons by default and darker buttons on hover keeps the focus on the image.
Lightview is very easy to style as well, even someone who doesn’t know CSS can be able to customize it. The javascript options and the images are basically all you need to change to get the look and feel you want within seconds. One of the best things is that Lightview uses Canvas an VML to draw a those images for you. This way it’s possible to change the corner radius very fast. It also works on every screen resolution, all images are automatically resized to fit within the viewport when you open them. Even the close button will adjust as you go smaller.
Requirements: Prototype, Scriptaculous with Javascript Enabled
