Customising how the larger image is displayed.
When a thumbnail is clicked on, you are presented with a page similar to the one when you click on the left picture above. It appears that the larger image is on its own page ... but if you hunt around the folders, you will not find that page. In fact the image has been linked to directly .....
<a href="images/balloontfp.jpg"> ...
but as the image needs to be displayed on something, it automatically gets displayed in your browser window - thus appearing to be on its own page. So you will be unable to customise it.

To be able to do that (as seen if the top right thumbnail of a balloon is clicked on), using either the real.htm or real_p.htm (depending which gallery you are using - check out the customisation of that gallery to find which page you need) you will first  have to insert the larger image onto a new page, then link directly to it from the thumbnail image on the relevant "real" page.  The larger image of the balloon is on a page I named balloon.htm, which I saved in the same folder as the image itself.  so all I had to do, having made the page, was in HTM view  change the file extension that Font Page had given, from .jpg to .htm.  You can now customise that page how you like. Alternatively, you can just right click on the existing thumbnail, select Hyperlink properties, then browse to the page you have just created with the larger image on.

You can also at this stage, decide whether you want the larger image to open in the same window or a new window. By default all gallery images open in the same window.  To make the larger image open in a new window, when you have the above box open to browse for the page with your larger image on, on the right hand side you will see a button called "Target Frame" - click on that and from the choices, select "New Window"

Front page will insert the word _blank in the target setting page below. That will now appear in your link code, if you look at it in HTML view.
