Watermarks

Can I retain my watermark when a gallery visitor drag/clicks a photo to their desktop? I want friends to be able to pull off pics without losing the copyright watermark.

If you allow a right-click save, yes. That saves one of the display copies.

If you allow downloads via save photo, no. That downloads the original, and the original image is not watermarked.

Thanks. I've designated a size other than original so the watermark should survive either method of downloading?

If you've chosen a size other than the original then the Save Photo option is not available. The option that is available is a right-click save, and that image will include the watermark.

See http://www.smugmug.com/help/download-photos.

I'd recommend that you experiment with the settings, try a download or a right-click-save-as from a browser where you are not signed in, and see what happens.
