Downloading my files

BeyondOrdinaryLife

Something weird has happened. I don't know if it is just me or what? This started Oct 4.

When I upload a gallery from Lightroom I put the watermark on in smugmug. But when trying to download my images (when logged in as admin) they download with the watermark still there?! This has never been the case before? Does this mean any downloads purchased by clients or prints made will have the watermark? How do I fix this? In short HELP?! :confused

Are you sure you haven't configured Lightroom to apply a watermark to your photos before they're uploaded? Are you definitely downloading the "original" size of your photos?

To the best of my knowledge I am not having Lightroom do this for me. Is there a separate place in Lightroom I should be looking? I have attached a screen shot of the settings for the gallery this is happening on. And I have verified I was downloading the original size. I don't claim to know all the ins and outs of Lightroom. any assistance you can offer is much appreciated.

Did you maybe set up a Printmark on SmugMug instead of a watermark? Printmarks appear on prints, and I believe they appear on Original size images too.

There's another spot in Lightroom where it could be applying a watermark. Right click on the "SmugMug" header in the Publish Services pane and choose "Edit Settings...". Ensure that the watermark section at the very end of that dialog isn't ticked, since this Lightroom watermark appears even on Original size images (it gets applied to the image before it is uploaded to SmugMug).

That was it! It was clicked to watermark! Thank you so much!
