I want to improve the lightbox feature on our site but need some guidance.
Which stock photography sites have the best lightbox for organizing and sending images for a project you are working on? I would love to hear about any particular sites that make it very easy to use the lightbox feature. Are there any features that the lightbox must have? Who do you think displays the layout of the files inside the lightbox the best so it fits well into your workflow?
Just in case some of you didn't know a lightbox. A lightbox according to wikipedia is a folder used on stock photography websites to allow a user to organize digital photos. Photos can be assigned to a viewable lightbox folder by subject, for later convenience, or used to compile unrelated photos for a specific project layout. Lightboxes also allow graphic designers to show clients options for a project in one simple uncluttered folder.
Thanks for any of your advice or feedback. Sorry for the serious question during holiday break ;-)

I only know istockphoto.com's lightbox and it works for me.

I am just about to release our new lightbox at Cutcaster so if anyone has more feedback that would be great as we are in the final stages of releasing. I will let you know when we release the first version and thank you in advance.

copying does not create a valid solution

What is missing countryman that you would add to a lightbox solution that is not in the marketplace? I am all ears.
I am not trying to copy anyone else's solution but at the same time I dont want to re-create the wheel on a lot of the basic features that I need. I want to provide the most important tools for users and also see what people consider a good clean interface for lightboxes. Cheers
