If you would like to turn off the image album, first you will need to turn off your click-to-enlarge images. Once that has been done, let us know and we will disable the image album in your account. You may turn off the click-to-enlarge images by going to "My Account" --> "Global Preferences" --> scroll down to the bottom of the page and uncheck "Automatically scale down large images for faster download and cleaner presentation".
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you for your patience.
