A nice summary of very usable plugins. I’m using the jCarousel, but this one is not working in Safari unfortunatly… I’ll have to find another one, so any suggestions would be fine
Cheers

I like this combination of Galleria and jCarousel

Works in Safari 4 Mac for me.
There are some tweaks to be made to this implementation but this is a good starting point. Not sure how updated Galleria has been lately. The back button does not work as expected when landing on a gallery but other than that I love this combo.

Nice list! Although for a lightbox, I would recommend ColorBox instead
