The "Lightbox" feature is a personal collection box for your favorite Photo Japan images. The images you select are visible only to the person using your computer.  Any image on a Photo Gallery page displaying the Lightbox link can be added to your collection.  Images appearing on the database search results page cannot be put in your lightbox.

To select an image and keep it in your own personal lightbox, click the word Lightbox below the photo.  Your computer will remember the image your selected even though you cannot see it.  To review and edit all the images collected in your lightbox, click VIEW LIGHTBOX in the page menu.

Your lightbox will remain active for 48 hours* during which time you can save up to 60 images. Before requesting preview enlargements of your lightbox images, edit your selection to twenty or less using the Delete box and the UPDATE LIGHTBOX button. To receive low-resolution, watermarked comp and enlargements, click the REQUEST IMAGES button.

IMPORTANT! Complimentary preview enlargements are limited in quantity to twenty and are available to commercial photo buyers only who register with us.  All preview enlargements are low-resolution (72 ppi resolution) with a watermark.

* The lightbox will not function unless JavaScript and cookies are enabled on your browser. Your lightbox will remain active for two days with cookies enabled.

To share the images in your lightbox with a colleague or client, click the REQUEST IMAGES button on your lightbox page and complete the Registration & Photo Request Form.  Check the button that indicates, "Post preview images on-line."  We will provide a link to a custom, on-line lightbox containing your low-resolution preview enlargements that can be shared.
