I am currently using NextGen Gallery and I want to view full images when I hover over the thumbnail, it is much better than waiting the user to click.

Currently I obtain this functionality in Chrome by using the extension Hover Zoom but I want to enable this functionality to all my visitiors.

I suppose that this should be a generic solution, not something special for NextGen.

Try this jQuery plugin: http://www.mind-projects.it/projects/jqzoom/

If you need help in making it interact with NextGEN gallery, let me know. You ultimately need to add the script via wp_enqueue_script and then setting it to fire on the NextGEN Gallery objects.

(If you do this modularly enough, you might even have the makings of a pretty decent quick, little NextGEN plugin... Release it to the community, I'd use it! :D)

Or alternately, use this WP plugin, which seems to do all the work for you... http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/image-zoomer/

Image Zoomer doesn't seam to work and also it does only "zoom" instead of loading the full resolution picture. – Sorin Sbarnea May 29 '11 at 11:09
Then you want to go for the first answer; it allows you to specify a high resolution version of the image. It will require slightly more setting up, though. Let me know if you need any help with that. – aendrew May 29 '11 at 18:55
