What you do is difficult to understand and to justify.

toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=565

You want, say, 4 images to be loaded in new, individual, distinct,
separate created windows and not be reusing, recycling in an already
opened secondary window. The user can choose to do that if the code of
your link does not interfere with his browser settings. Also, note that
90% or so of people on the web have a scr. res. smaller than 1200 x 600:
so, right there, the user can not have more than 2 windows side by side.

Finally, your window features are trying to remove basic fundamental
accessibility window features (scrollbars=no,resizable=no) and, at the
same time, remove window features which browser manufacturers are now
ensuring/forcing their rendering (location=no,status=no): so what you do
goes against the users' best interests and, indirectly, against your
best interests.
Your window sizing requests will be fooled more often then honored.
