 * Hi, which is the best lightbox effect for accessibility? Preferably one that 
   is packaged with the Photonics plugin. Thanks!

 * Strictly speaking this isn’t a Photonic support question as it pertains to features
   of third-party scripts.
 * To the best of my knowledge none of the lightbox scripts would pass an accessibility
   audit. The basis of my statement is my knowledge of the state of development 
   of each lightbox, and a review of any accessibility-related tickets for those.
   Several of the lightbox scripts have had no updates for years, and several others
   have had open accessibility tickets for a long time. The only one where I saw
   some accessibility support is Magnific, and Fancybox3 has a patch available to
   improve accessibility, but it hasn’t made it to the core.
