Hi, I'm posting here since there seems to be no Adobe Portfolio forums. There are a few basic features missing from Portfolio that I'd like two mention. Two come to mind right now:There's no option to disable/ enable ligtbox on single images. This setting either enables or disables it for the whole site. So I have a portfolio with illustrations and I find the lightbox feature useful so I can have thumbnails that can be enlarged by clicking on them. However, if I add a picture of myself in an about page, that image is ALSO clickable and opened in a lightbox. To me that feels cheap, like something out of an early blogger site.Once an image gets opened by lightbox, it goes full height on your screen. However, there's a secondary zoom if you click on the image. I'd like this setting to be optional. Maybe I don't want my images to be blown up larger than the screen. The dirty workaround is to have your images in a small resolution so it's not that large, but I imagine that affects the image cuality on retina screens. Those are just some basic missing features I came accross while building my portfolio and they're so basic I can not believe they haven't been addressed yet. Please Adobe, show some love for your customers already. Cheers.

Hi! I found a workaround for this! I know your question is quite old, but since Adobe Portfolio doesn’t get updated often, I thought I’d share in case you're still looking to use it.

I wanted the lightbox feature enabled for my illustrations, so I turned it on. However, for the images on my ‘About Me’ page that I didn't want to open in a lightbox, I added a link to the same page they’re on (wherever possible). That way, at least the image doesn’t zoom in 🙂

Make sense? You can check out what I did here: https://designsbyroochita.com/about
If you or someone else has found a better solution, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks!

Hi! First of all I love your work. I want to deactivate the lightbox option but I can't find where is it. Could you help me? I can't find the solution anywhere.
