revolution photo themes

I’m using the free version of the new revolution canvas/album themes (they’re the same inside as far as I can tell). There’s no readme, so I’m trying to figure out how to run the darn things. I can tell that there’s a custom field called “image” which needs an image 600×400.

The problem is in the right sidebar: No matter what I do and how I fiddle with the loops, the next/previous links aren’t appearing and it’s displaying all the posts at the end of the sidebar description, including the full-size images, which is pushing everything into the main area and making a mess. What is causing this? Is there a custom key I’m missing or some other setting I need? I tried setting showposts to 1 to keep the subsequent posts out of the sidebar but nothing changed.

I would really like to display the last 10 posts (one post is supposed to display partly in the left div and partly in the right div) vertically like they’re supposed to be displayed instead of just one post and instead of having all posts in the right div…
