Looks like some concept and not something actually created? I would note that this image seems to be designed with a very "fortunate" order of images vs aspects that creates more visual symmetry than you will normally get from such a layout.metallissimus wrote:That way horizontal and vertical images would show at the same size.

I was thinking the same, although that would probably be with the help of some 3rd-party app that stores "square" images with white borders integrated directly in the image (so that the full image is contained with the square), because this layout is not available from Instagram.metallissimus wrote:I believe this is an actual instagram screenshot.
This would be complicated and clumsy at best. There is the "smart crop" feature which attempts to crop images with focus on important features (like human faces), but you cannot easily custom-create individual thumbnails. That would require manually creating multiple resize versions inside render/w***/path/filename.jpg, and if the images were moved/updated/changed, the resized versions would need to get recreated also.metallissimus wrote:This could be of course a solution to my idea, too: Put white bars around every image. But this only works if it's somehow possible to set thumbnails independently of the images shown in the popup, otherwise you waste a lot of space on mobile. Is this possible without building the entire gallery by hand (like I did with the six images shown here: https://hochzeiten.danielbollinger.de/)?
I am REALLY looking for a long time for this feature in a gallery software. Art galleries (I mean good and commercial art galleries in town) are using that and I have some art friends which are asking for that!metallissimus wrote:That way horizontal and vertical images would show at the same size.

Just for reference, that screenshot is very "kind" to the feature you are asking, and doesn't really display proper aspect images. In real life, you are requesting something like the layout below:AJF wrote:I am REALLY looking for a long time for this feature in a gallery software.

To me this is something entirely different. The images are not in a layout, but simply stacked vertically, so it's perfectly acceptable that images don't align because the visitor is simply viewing vertically anyway.AJF wrote:I did something like that but it seems it's a little buggy at scrolling sometimes:
