Watermarks oddities

MJStevens

Tonight I uploaded a photo and instead of my watermark being applied the smugmug watermark was applied. I checked the gallery settings and it is set to use my custom watermark. I've tried to apply my watermark through the watermarking tool but it continues to display smugmug's watermark.



Update: Seems the original file was deleted by mistake. so that one has been fixed. The second one still won't watermark. I even deleted and readded the image to the gallery.

Another oddity is a photo can't be watermarked. The reason it can't be watermarked is the photo doesn't appear in the list of photos when you select watermarking. The gallery has 15 photos until you go to watermarking when there are 14. Even if you move the image to another gallery the same problem occurs.

Does that photo meet the minimum size requirements for watermarking?

From the help page at http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-watermark-protection:

Gotcha: We do not watermark photos whose longest side is equal to or less than 800 pixels because a display copy and the original are the same image.
