 * I am having a similar issue where I have pages with hundreds of images and all
   of them are being displayed at the correct size but the server is being called
   for the full sized images. This makes the pages take at least 10 seconds or more
   to load which is unacceptable according to my own standards and Googles.
 * I highly support Greghaygood’s proposed solution.

 * Aelbuni,
 * Thank you for the update it works well. I think the biggest thing that still 
   remains is making the plugin pull thumbnail sized images instead of full sized
   ones for the galleries. It definitely slows page load speed way down.
 * I will post on another support ticket for this issue.

 * I found a workaround for part of the issue but I think in the future you should
   look into adding a way to control or incorporate the individual image titles 
   and alt texts into the portfolio galleries. For both the thumbnails and the blown
   up images within the light-box popups.
 * From what I discovered the complicated part comes in because the portfolio gallery
   is itself a post and pulling the alt text from its post id gives you the featured
   image’s alt text but I have found no way of pulling the alt text for the other
   images within the gallery that are not the featured image.
 * My work around is:
 * > alt=”‘.$alt.’ Photo ‘.$counter++.'”
 * This makes each image in a particular portfolio gallery have an alt text like`
   alt=”Car Shots Photo 1″‘. I still have not figured out a workaround for the images
   contained within the LB portion of the plugin though so that is my next project.
 * Aside from these issues I do really like this plugin, quite user friendly!

 * aelbuni, this is a very time sensitive issue, a prompt reply would be greatly
   appreciated. If I am heading in the wrong direction please let me know but either
   way I do need to attribute the alt text and title to the images asap. Thanks 
   in advance!
