...to offer prints for sale AND free downloads in the same gallery? In other words, I want to sell ABC print for $10.00. But I want it to be downloadable for free.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

    Yes. Set your pricing, but do NOT turn on right click protection. Then customers can download by right click saving the photo. I would expect this would really limit the amount of sales you make!

    Jerry,

    There are these new websites out there that allow people to order photographic prints from digital image files for cheap. Some examples are walmart.com, shutterfly.com, and smugmug.com. A 4x6" print costs as little as twelve cents, and an 8x10" like three dollars. If people can download images from your gallery for free, they can go make cheap prints on those other sites. Just don't tell anybody that, maybe none of your customers know.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
