With the success of the jqGalView Plugin I've decided to release the jQuery jqGalViewII (beta) Plugin which allows you to take a grouping of images and turn it into an flash-like image/photo gallery, much like what the jqGalView Plugin does for you.

The jQuery jsGalScroll Plugin allows you to take a grouping of images and turn them into an scrolling photo gallery with pagination.

The jQuery jqShuffle Plugin allows you to take a list/group of photos/paragraphs and shuffle through them. When set, it provides a flash-like photo gallery effect.
The plugin is still in development as far as extras go. Base functionality will take your list and produce a shuffle effect similiar to the way you would shuffle a stack of photos, taking the top most photo, moving it to the left and then repositioning it to the bottom of the stack.
