The construction is the important aspect:
- The boring grey Soft-group has an image and a white backing with a purple edging.
- The image - alone - has a 640px pop-up with all the trimmings.
- The grid starts life as a Table 09 of 1 x 1 with the Caption hidden - most work is done when the QuickShape Tool is active on the selected Smart table (this is a pain to get right).
- The Soft-group (copy to Clipboard) is added as an Embedded Group when the Text Tool is active in the first Cell.
- After this you use the Smart Table controls to create more cells, up and across.
- All the colours of the Smart Table are set to 'no colour'.
- The images are then dropped onto each template image.
- You can then add Web Animation > Show pop-up text (HTML Title) for hover pop-up detail; Web Properties > Image > Photo pop-up > Pop-up Title (confused yet?) for the HighSlide reveal; Web Properties > Image > Image > caption (Alt Text) for the Description. For each and every image.
- As it is a Smart Table you can change the Padding to suit, rearrange rows and columns and grow as you see fit.
- I added a Repeating Diamond Underlay as you have to add drop shadows carefully for each White/Purple border. Personally, I would use CSS on this instead; I should have added a ClassName to it before all the duplicating!
