[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] How to do this in NGG (new user)

Hello everybody,

I am sure this is very simple but I am a little confused since I am coming from Gallery2 and not familiar yet with the terminology of NGG.

Here is what I want to do:

Level 1: Overview. Have a page that lists all my galleries as thumbnails with short description, date, and so on
Level 2: Thumbnail page. A click on a gallery leads to a thumbnail page where all pictures are listet (thumbs only)
Level 3: Image view. Clicking on a thumbnail opens a page with a larger version of th eimage plus details such as descritpion, caption, exif
Level 4: Lightbox view. Clicking on this picture then opens a fullscreen light box with minimal additional info, maybe just the caption or not even that.

So in NGG “terms”, would this be:
L1: ALBUM PAGE
L2: GALLERY PAGE
L3: SINGLE PICTURE
L4: a lightbox?

In all the examples I am kinda missing L3. They always go straight from thumbnails to lightbox or simple image file.
As I said I am very new and I haven’t yet started to think in NGG terms.

To understand better what I want: I would like to port my current Gallery2 to NGG (note that there L4 is currently missing).

Thanks for your help!
