I hear you have some tricks on how to get a masonry gallery in 7.0. I am currently using Index Gallery in "Packed" -- but it's not truly responsive and follows a pattern (big on the left, 2 small on the right etc.) regardless of orientation. I have a client with every possible ratio of image sizes, and I can't for the life of me create a true masonry gallery in 7.0 that doesn't heavily crop every image. Any ideas? Attached are my best attempt .. and what it SHOULD look like.

Depending on the template, like Wexley, gallery pages, not blocks, will create a masonry layout wih very little cropping, and not that much effort from me. Most of my effort is arranging the photos, like a puzzle, and using site styles to tweak the padding between the index items and the items themselves. This effects all galleries blocks to some extent as well. If you are using a block, as I said Image arrangement is very important, I set the block for no cropping and usually 1:1 square, and play with the padding. That last setting may change depending on how much of the page I am using. And you have to be willing to have varible space between the images. You can see examples of that here on this site.
