Watermark Updates

jskwarek

I changed my watermark this morning and updated all my galleries with this new watermark. When I look in the gallery settings it shows the correct watermark being used. Looking at the images I see the old watermark still. How long does this update process typically take?

Hi Jason,

Sorry for any confusion - we realize there is a lot to take in...

You have the ability/option to add MULTIPLE custom marks to a single gallery, to pick and choose which photos are/are not marked and with which custom mark (no limit).

Because of this, setting watermarks to YES/NO Gloabaly in gallery settings turns the feature on/off - it is a 'blanket' convenience option > applying the selected mark to photos as added to the gallery going forward, it won't remove marks from existing photos.

As mentioned in the watermarks help page: http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-watermark-protection, this must be done using the CORE watermark tool:

Choose Watermarking from the Tools Menu. Then select your thumbnails, choose add/remove and click the watermark button.

And check out the short tutorials on the help page or more detail -

If you have additional questions, shoot us an email on the support desk - http://help.smugmug.com/

We're always glad to help.
