Displaying Images

[Ntrimgs]

What program/process is used to create those photo galleries where you click on the thumbnail picture and the background darkens and the image opens up larger in the middle of the screen with a little progress wheel displaying while loading. Then you click the "close-x" button on the image, or just click the image, and it vanishes and the page returns to its normal view?

you can also create some pretty impressive slideshows for the web using some of the more fully featured image editing applications

One of these, I think it is Lightbox2, does just that:
