The thumbnail image will be made into a hyperlink to the original unscaled image. Setting the style to Thumbnail - no link to full size version will appear the same as above but the thumbnail image will not be a hyperlink to the original unscaled image. Setting the style to Thumbnail with hyperlink or Thumbnail with hyperlink to new window will also appear the same as above but the image will be a hyperlink to a URL specified in the "Alt text for image" field.

Also, if multiple images in an article are set to this style then they can be scrolled through using the next/previous buttons in the lightbox display. If the full size image is bigger than the browser window then it will be resized to fit in the browser window and will have an additional link to display the full size image in another window.
