Standard account -> Pro account some questions

tsk1979

I am a standard account holder, and am thinking of taking a pro account just so that my pictures have automatic watermark.
Recently some big news websites and magazines have lifted my pics without permission.

I was wondering, if I shift to pro, can I have a watermark to already uploaded pics too, or only to new galleries I upload?

You can apply watermarks to new or existing images. When you set a watermark on an existing gallery, it is applied to all newly uploaded images. There is a separate command to apply a watermark to existing images.

So when I upgrade to pro, all I need to do is simply go to each gallery I want to watermark, and run that command.
Is there a way to run the command to all galleries. Some API or something?

I don't know how to do it any way other than one gallery at a time in the Smugmug UI. You can set it for all future uploads using the multiple gallery settings UI, but you can't apply it to existing images that way. There is an API function for apply watermarks to a gallery, though it would require scripting to use and I haven't tried it myself.

When I do "owner save" then it will download original without watermark, right?

Yes, the original is not touched. Only the generated sizes are watermarked.
