UPDATE 12/8/2016:  the new lightbox feature has been enabled site-wide.  You may notice many images need to be re-built before the lightbox can display them.  This is a one time process to re-calculate image dimensions to allow display of larger sizes for flickr, smugmug, and google (picasa).  It is necessarily slow to prevent overloading the server (there are more than a half million photos so we need to re-build them on the fly).

Labels should be working now as well. You need to be logged in.  To edit a label just click on the label and edit away.  To move a label drag the crosshairs.  To delete a label, delete the text (then hit save).  To add a new label click on the downward pointing arrow at the top right of the lightbox and click the appropriate option.

The lightbox should make viewing/navigating images much easier/faster.  It is touch friendly so you can swipe left/right (in addition to using the keyboard arrow keys) to navigate.  It will automatically fit images to the viewport and allow zooming in.

I would recommend posting at least 1600 pixel size images to flickr, google, etc. going forward.  The lightbox will automatically grab the largest size (up to 1600 pixels for larger screens and 1024 for smaller screens, and up 1200 pixels tall for panos).
