Watermark

RM Photo

If I apply a watermark to my photos, when someone comes to buy one on my photos....will it print the watermark as well? If it does. How can I keep a watermark, but let them get a print without the watermark?

thanks

If you have a business or portfolio level account and you apply the watermark in smug the watermark is not applied to the Original image. It is only on the web display copies. In this case the watermark will not be on the images ordered from your site.

From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93343-how-do-i-watermark-photos-:

No worries, watermarks will not appear on prints ordered through SmugMug.

I just took a look at your site and saw that you are allowing access to the Originals. This allows viewers to view the Original (unwatermarked version) of the image. They can then grab the image (for free) from the browser cache. You should not allow access to the Original size; it will still be used for printing. See ORIGINALS = a gateway to free photos, & right click protection is NOT PROTECTION.
