Displaying images

I'm building a website which features a number of actors and want to put their photographs in some sort of film strip which the user can then select an image from and then get an enlarged version with a descriptive text. From the enlarged version I want the user to be able to go left or right to the next image

Is there an tool in WYSWYG which can do this?

Maybe you can use the 'Image Carousel' object?

See the 'screenshots' section on the home page:

Yes that would work. What are the settings you have used for that object?

Step 1
Add an 'Image Carousel' object to the page

Step 2
Use a link (with lightbox) to display a larger version of the image

Thanks, I can see how to make that work. One other question however, how do I get the 'scroll' functionality into the lightbox popup as in this picture...

On the home page I have used the 'Magnific Popup' lightbox.

Did you add links to the images and set the target window to light-box?

I used the same link for all images, it goes to one page with the images of the actors, side by side.

It is not clear what the image link should go to....grateful if you would advise me

You will need to set the link to a larger version of the image.
The target of the link should be set the 'lightbox'

If you need further help then please share a DEMO project. See also the forum rules.

The links should not be pointing to another page.
The idea is that you open a larger version of the image, so the link should be an image file.

Link to -> File

Also, filenames should not have spaces.

Unfortunately, in this case that will not work. Because the ligthbox sees all images as individual items.
In my case, I have used standard images and a carousel. Then all images will be part of the same lightbox.
