Galleriffic looks very nifty – now to get it to talk to Flickr’s photostream instead of providing the URLs myself… ;)

Dang I like that S3 Slider – other than the lightbox I haven’t heard of any of these other ones at the moment, nice list!

Thanks guys for all the suggestions, lots of very cool-looking galleries and slideshows.

@Veus I was having a look at Galleria and it looks brilliant. I got the impression from other commenters on their site that it was a bit tricky to get it working. How did you find it in terms of setup?

That S3 Slider is pretty sexy.

Thanks for these, I tend to stick to good old Lightbox, but I’ll try out a couple of these!

Should’ve added this to my previous comment: but for the best list of jQuery lightbox clones: http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/

I've used PrettyPhoto and FancyBox as well as jQuery Lightbox and S3 Slider before.

I was just playing with s3slider last night. Really nice, although it doesn't seem to accommodate JS being turned off. Then I stumbled on this one called SmoothGallery, which is really superb and accommodates JS off. (It uses moo tools, but that makes no difference to me, as it comes all set up and ready to go.) You can download the files here, and the package comes with some astounding demos, including multiple galleries.

That s3Slider really looks great! I currently use the lightbox on my website but I am thinking about changing it to something else. It seems everyone is using a variant of the lightbox these days – it is loosing its impact.
