Enable Digital Downloads

What are the steps for enabling digital download at LOW (lowest possible) REZ only for clients to use in (commercial use) mock-up?

I have a client that wants me to submit an entire gallery (150+) of shots to show other editors in the company. Should I just let her have a "link" to Low Rez shots?:dunno

That would probably depend on your site. Your link isn't working for me.

Thanks Angelo
New here, yeah. And, I have 3 thumbs on each hand. I think I got it right now on both of the signatures.

OK, working now and I'm going to move this over to SMUGMUG support.

Do you want to give them access to a gallery with low res images or let them download a gallery of low res images?

If you just need to give them viewing access you can disable all the larger sizes in the Gallery Settings and turn Protected on: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/730149549_nHx3g-X3.jpg. That will only allow the sizes you have permitted, block the Save Image button and also block Right Click>Save As.

If you want to let them download 150+ images you can do the same as above and turn Protected off. They'll need to download each image individually by right click and saving. Or they can use one of the Downloaders you can find on this page: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Hacks+and+Apps. Sorry but we don't have a bulk download tool on the site.

Another option is to create the small images yourself, zip them and email them or use a service like http://www.yousendit.com/ to send the file to your client.

A friend, not a pro photog, sent a link to a gallery and there is no Save option when I mouseover an image. On my own galleries, I thought I had allowed some of my galleries to be publicly downloaded, and others not, but now all my galleries allow saving from the mouseover menu. Did I change something without realizing its impact?

And I notice the Protected option is not available. Does that mean I have to upgrade my account.

I would like to allow some of my galleries to be publicly downloadable (or at least downloadable by anyone I authorize to see them) but others I want to block public download, at least of high rez images.
