We designed this modal window to create an impressive user experience for your website visitors using full-size high-quality images. While switching from one image to the next, the theme scrolls to it in the background and at the bottom of the image, you can display the copyright source of the picture.

Global settings
The modal can be enabled globally from Theme Panel -> Post Settings. The modal will apply to all post images set using the image from Gutenberg and images from the classic element of Gutenberg that has the image link to Media file, so you won’t have to go to each post to set them individually. If this feature is disabled, the individual imaged settings are applied.
