When you are within an article and you click on the image, it opens the image up in a lightbox, but shouldn't the image enlarge in the lightbox too?

It will depend on the parameters you have set with in the K2 parameters.

well i have the article item image set to large and then the extra large is set to bigger dimensions, what parameters should i be looking for?

thanks for your help btw

Also to me the image open in popup with same size of image size article. Why?

I have this issue as well.
I would like for the lightbox image to be of the same resolution of the original file.

Has anyone tested with default paramaters set, with a know original image size, and then dl the resulting images to check what k2 is doing to them?

I don't remember the exact size of the resulting images (as I've resorted to using Mavik for the lightbox), however, with an original width of 950px, one lightbox image had width of ~700. If I recall correctly, this fluctuated from image to image.

in the file item.php

change this line:

<a class="modal" href="<?php echo $this->item->imageXLarge; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('Click to preview image'); ?>">

for this one:

<a class="modal" href="<?php echo $this->item->imageXLarge; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('Click to preview image'); ?>" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 500, y: 750}}" >
