Are these mutually exclusive? If I right-click protect a gallery, even the owner (me) cannot right-click to "copy image address" for external linking. What to do?

    once the photos are off your site (blog, forum, ebay, etc) they are no longer protected by SmugMug's right click protection.

    Understood. I think I need to treat them as mutually exclusive. Thanks.

    If you want to be able to easily get the direct link to an image while keeping your images right-click protected, you can enable Easy Sharing and then add this CSS so the Share button only shows when you are logged in:

    .notLoggedIn #shareButton {display:none;}

    Of course, as Andy said, the images will not be right-click protected when you link to them.
