I'd like to do this so that the user can click the image and be taken to another web page where they can find more detailed information on the clicked image (much more detailed than can be shown in the little info panel at the bottom)

Is it possible to make the images clickable?

Yes it could be possible, but not by default. You could put a link inside the image description
<a href="page.html">link</a>. See the http://www.e2interactive.com/color_photography-1.php gallery for a sample.Posted 4 months ago # -
Thanks for the response. The trouble have with putting the link in the image description is that it may not stand out as much as I'd like.
I've been looking for a good image gallery and have narrowed it down to two options: yours and JonDesign's SmoothGallery (http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/showcase/gallery/).
With SmoothGallery the problems I have are that the image descriptions appear automatically (I'd rather the user be able to toggle them in and out like you can with the E2 gallery), and I prefer the way the E2 thumbnail carousel works (clicking the arrows to mave the thumbnails along as opposed to moving your mouse over the side in which you want the thumbs to move), although this is not that major. With SmoothGallery you can have it so that clicking on an image takes you to another link. The support forums for SmoothGallery seem to have deteriorated a bit (lots of spam posts and the author himself hasn't contributed in quite a while).
That last feature is the only one missing from E2 (as far as my needs go). How hard would it be to incorporate such a feature?
I hope I'm not coming across as too demanding, I'd give it a go myself but I just don't have the know-how. In all honesty both galleries are really great and either one would do a good job for me, I'm just being extra fussy about the little details.
