Dear all,
I would like to invite my friends in facebook to see a recent gallery in my smugmug site. What is the suggested process for doing that? I tried today copy pastying in facebook but unfortunately I found that the facebook picked a random image for the link I gave (which was not the optimal one).

What would you recommend me doing?

Regards
Alex

    Copy the browser link while on the photo you want and paste that into a message.

    After the gallery generates I delete the pasted in link and type in my message.

    Thanks I did not know that tip. I guess afterwards I can switch my gallery style from smugmug in what I think is better.
    Right?

    Thanks for the answer.
    Can someone explain me why this galelry also shows to the visitors the full size of the shots and not the medium as I have picked?
    Regards

    I'm just guessing here. Is that the gallery that contains the photos, or is it a smart gallery or collection? If it is pulling the images from another gallery the source gallery is where the size is defined.

    From the help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93308-can-i-create-galleries-based-on-keywords-:
    Tip: All photos that are collected into other galleries will honor the settings from the original gallery. This means that if you've applied watermarks, custom pricing, limited the largest size, etc., these will apply to the photos no matter where they're displayed.

    Thanks that helped... That was the reason! Btw, can I have medium size shots and at the same time generate a zip link for my client to download all at full size? Or the zip would contain the files at the exact size limitation of the current gallery?

    If you request a gallery download as the site owner it will contain the Original-sized images. The size you specify is used for display purposes, not for printing or for gallery download.
