Thank you David. I got that. I had the picker set on GIF and did not check other possibilities. Now I know. Thank you for your patience.
My thumbnails are fairly large and of rather good quality, so people do not have to see the large image if they see the image well enough. From my experience the files as they are now are loading really fast and the quality is fine, I can probably even improve it slightly. The large and best possible quality image (definitely within the reason as far as loading time of course) needs to be there if someone wants to see it. It is usually the case if the gallery is interested in showing my work, or anybody else, including a potential buyer would like to see it larger, with more detail. I saw one on somebody else’s website, where the large image was showing up on top of the tumbnails and when clicked in the upper right corner it would go back to the thumbnails. Because I have a deadline with having my images up online within a few days I will probably stop at fairly large thumbnails and add the large images after.
I did use the graphic box for a thumbnail image and applied Action. It behaves the same as html box. On the Action menu I have checked “link to file” and I don’t know how to uncheck it, becasue it looks like I have to choose something from that menu. I could not find from Item>Actions the ScriptyLightbox2…

but way better than as gifs (which is what was coming up when I used the graphic icon to import images.)
If you go to File>Document Setup you will see different sections that allow you to change the default behaviour of FW.
Under the Graphics Tab you will find the options to set the default output quality of your image file types.
When you import an image into a graphic container FW has a best guess of the file type you are importing and changes the output to suit so generally if you Import a Gif then that is the File type that will be produced. However you do NOT have to stick with FW’s choice and you can change it to suit your own requirements. See pic below. So you can choose the best (for your needs) file type and quality setting.
But I cant help feeling that ‘Thumbnails’ by design are meant to be just that and not be of optimum quality. That way you are sparing your visitors large unnecessary file download sizes unless they do want to view the larger image.
