 * Hi, I’ve a strange “issue” with lightbox in single products.
    I’ve a client site
   that sells shirts. Those shirts have a very fine and detailed pattern that, if
   I use a large image as the product main one, creates some moire patterns, which
   the client wants to avoid.
 * But, there is still the need to zoom-in on the image, so a lower resolution one
   is not an option. So I’m searching for a way to enable a 2-images lightbox, using
   a low resolution image for the cover (avoiding the dreaded moire effect), and
   a high resolution one for the lightbox/zoomed in. Is this possible?
 * I know that it’s possible to disable the zoom-on-hover effect, thus using the
   magnifier icon to open the built-in lightbox, but the resulting image is still
   downscaled and I need another click to view it at its native size. So, it’s possibile
   to use the built in lightbox but make the image already at 100% size?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flightbox-problem-23%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@barb82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barb82/) By default WooCommerce
   will use two images, one is for display on the page and the other is for the 
   larger zoomed in image. If this isn’t working out for you, you may need to either
   override the lightbox in the theme or us a plugin to use a different lightbox.
