Free downloads for select individuals

How can I make a gallery or galleries to where certain individuals can dowload for free? I still want the general public to be restricted...

I currently have watermarks, and right click disabled. I have pricing setup for my downloads.

I tried a coupon that makes everything at cost, but still wants all the payment information filled out even though the coupon makes the total price $0.00.

Other than the assistant password (which I really don't want to gove to anyone else), I can't think of another way to accomplish this.

The reason is that I shoot at a motorcycle riding school, and want to make the downloads available for free to the instructors.

jpress.smugmug.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You can create a bulk download zipfile of the gallery, as the owner, and then send the owners the link to that zip.

    but what about individual picstures...something so they can just pick and choose versus having to download a Gallery of 1000 pics?

    I'm sorry there's no way to do that, other than uploading their choices to a passworded gallery, leaving them as Originals available with no protection. I wish I had a better, different answer for you!

    Thanks for the quick replies (BTW, your avatar just freaked my daughter out completely!!!).

    Still wondering why if a coupon makes downloads free, why the requirement to fill out credit card info. Is this something you guys plan on correcting?

    Thanks Again!

    If your photos aren't good enough, then you are not close enough.

    I agree with Jpress' idea. I think this would be a great option. I often shoot events where the participants of the events are my direct sales customers. But the event organizers need the pictures as well. A way for them to access the pictures, select and download for FREE would be VERY helpful.
