s there a way to have individual images open in something like Lightbox or else instead of a full page navigation?
You can activate Jetpack’s Carousel module to get an image overlay when clicking on a gallery image:

Thanks Jeremy, but I really don’t like Carousel, sorry, I would prefer an overlay that displays only the picture itself, with the page background, just like Lightbox does.
In this case, I’d recommend looking for another Lightbox plugin that’s compatible with WordPress Galleries. You should find a few here in the plugin repository.

Yes, I know that but I somehow was expecting you would recommend one that is actually compatible with Jetpack galleries.
I’m afraid I’m not familiar enough with Lightbox plugins to make a recommendation.
A quick Google search returns a few threads and tutorials that may be interesting:

I haven’t tested any of those solutions, though, so I can’t recommend one over the other.
