Free downloads as wallpaper

kathiemt

I want to offer a small number of my photos as free downloads for desktop wallpaper. Has anyone done this? And what's the best way to go around it?

I usually have a price set for my photos but I guess I don't really need to put anything so untick that option and make sure it doesn't have protect switched on? That way people could just right click and save as... couldn't they?

Yes, with protected set to no, people would be able to right-click save.
Just make sure that you have 'largest size' not set to original or else your big originals would be available for downloading. You can find both settings in the security&privacy section of the gallery settings:

Thanks. I thought I might create a gallery called 'Free Wallpaper' and upload images resized specifically for that purpose. I'd have a different watermark on them too - unobtrusive but with my domain on it. I saw this on a couple of other photography sites (not here at Smugmug) and thought it would be good to offer that.
