Still just beginning to learn VM so please bear with me.  Perhaps this has already been answered and I'm just not using the right search terms.  Basically, I'm happy with my thumbnail images, and my mai-image (on the product description page). But I would love to have the option of having yet one more size larger for the pop-up.  In other words, I don't want to make my visitors download extra large images on the product description page that are simply sized down for display.  I would rather they only have to load the larger image if they CHOOSE to do so by clicking for it.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Laura, what you should do is upload a bigger image and then in the product description make it a specific size through css. That way your "big image" in prod. description is actually resized ""bigger" image.
You can also add your own class and then change it in the default_images.php in productdetails folder or here's an advice from jenkinhill

p.s. make sure to do an override
