Publish with LR-created watermark?

Delbean

Is there a way to publish only one gallery from LR4, with a permanent watermark I've created in LR? My other SM galleries have the (temporary) SmugMug-created watermark, but this one I want to have a permanent watermark, as images will be available for download.

If I go into the settings for the SM plug-in, I see where I can select a LR-created watermark, but if that is checked, will it apply the watermark to my entire website? I only want it for one gallery.

You would have to toggle the 'watermark' option in LR each time you upload, depending if you want the images watermarked or not.

Have you thought about the Printmark option in SmugMug? You can offer digital downloads with or without printmarks.

Thank you. Yes I have considered the printmark but it is so small. These are simply t-ball shots that parents can download and share to social networking sites.
Since I've already uploaded to the gallery, I will need to delete the images from the gallery and re-upload with the LR watermark selected. That should only affect that gallery, correct?

You should be able to change the publish service config to use the LR watermark, mark the gallery to re-publish and publish it again - then switch the config back.

If the config change offers you the option to mark the whole publish service as needing updated just say no.
