ImageLightbox.js is a lightbox only for images, not video, text, and iframes at once. No captions, navigation buttons or background cover by default. Nothing that would distract user from the main purpose. Just one source file which is only 4kb in size when minified. No messy markup.
If the default functionality is not enough, you can easily extend the plugin with custom JavaScript functions, change the settings or use a couple of useful method functions. Best of all, images fit to any screen size and are swipe-able (native behavior) on touch capable devices.
Requirements: JavaScript Framework

Tether is a javascript library for efficiently making an absolutely positioned element stay next to another element on the page. For example, you might want a tooltip or dialog to open, and remain, next to the relevant item on the page.
Tether includes the ability to constrain the element within the viewport, it’s scroll parent, any other element on the page, or a fixed bounding box. When it exceedes those constraints it can be pinned to the edge, flip to the other side of it’s target, or hide itself.
Tether optimizes it’s location placement to result in the minimum amount of ‘jankyness’ as the page is scrolled and resized. The page can maintain 60fps scrolling even with dozens or hundreds of tethers on screen. Tether is 5kb minified and gzipped, and supports IE9+, and all modern browsers.

Codrops has made the classic look of Scattered Polaroids and bring it to a next, flat level with some nice effects. It’s a flat-style Polaroid gallery where the items are scattered randomly in a container.
When a specific item is selected, it will move to the middle while the other Polaroids will make space for it by moving to the sides. Optionally, an item can have a backface which will be shown by flipping the Polaroid when clicking on the current navigation dot again.

Clmtrackr is a javascript library for fitting facial models to faces in videos or images. It currently is an implementation of constrained local models fitted by regularized landmark mean-shift, as described in Jason M. Saragih’s paper. Clmtrackr tracks a face and outputs the coordinate positions of the face model as an array.
The library provides some generic face models that were trained on the MUCT database and some additional self-annotated images. The aim is to also provide a model builder for building your own facial models. The library requires ccv.js (for initial face detection) and numeric.js (for matrix math).

Terry Mun has shared an tutorial for Creating Beautiful Photosets with jQuery and CSS. It fits into a fluid width layout. It is fully customisable, such that one can dictate the layout as desired, preferably in a straight forward, fuss-free manner.
All images fit snugly into a single row, but their widths are adjusted accordingly so that all images on the same row fill the entire width, not more and not less, of its parent container, while preserving their individual aspect ratios.

Justified Gallery is a jQuery plugin that allows you to create a high quality justified gallery of images. Fill all the spaces. It automatically align images to a justified gallery keeping their original aspect ratio.
The plugin is based on the concept that you have various thumbnails for a single image. In fact, you can configure the gallery to show your images in different sizes, and also the plugin may decide to resize some images to fill the remaining empty space. Hence, the plugin needs thumbnails with different sizes to guarantee high quality pictures.
