Max-width is the property used for limiting the width of the image to predefined value. So it will help to show small sized pictures to display in their original size while resizing the large-sized images into a predefined maximum width.
Galleriffic was inspired by Mike Alsup's Cycle plugin, but with performance in mind for delivering a high volume of photos. This is my first experiment with jQuery, so I would love feedback on how to improve this plugin. I am not so great at spelling, and it was much later that I realized that the more appropriate spellings would be Gallerific or Gallerrific, but is too late now for a name change, so Galleriffic remains.
