My best approach is a CSS fade on the image to reveal underneath.
Much more versatile and you can control most things. I added some filters for effect and you are manipulating one image and not a clutch of things.
If it were to be used in the OP's case, the photo grid would need to carve out all the images and each would have the Name, htmlclass="reveal".
I put my images in a !Images layer to make it easy to switch from image to things under, when editing.
