FAQs

Q: Is there any limit to the size of the galleries I should apply photo effects to?

A: Applying photo effects to your justified grid galleries will have an effect on the loading performance. Because of this, we recommend you limit your galleries to a maximum of 100 images when applying photo effects at this time, and/or make use of our Pagination Addon.
