If you're not familiar with the term, this image viewer pattern is generally called a lightbox rather than a carousel. I generally don't see the two used interchangeably, but there's similarity to the prev/next controls, of course.

- petepete 6y agoDoesn't a lightbox make the rest of the page dark? Amazon doesn't do this, the carousel doesn't take up any more space than the original image.
- wonderlg 6y agoThe core difference is that a “carousel” as intended here generally contains text, and that’s specifically why it’s a bad pattern. “Scroll-through” photo albums are a fair way to display photos, however I still personally prefer a gallery for photos instead, exactly like it works on your phone for example (gallery + “lightbox”)
