Can my images be Downloaded from my website?

FiestaRed

When I sign out of my website and view it as a visitor, it looks as though images can be downloaded or shared. Can anyone please advise what I'm doing wrong?

If I go into a menu item on my website and look at the images, then click on them to view in the Lightbox I see options at the bottom right of the page to Share and Download, not sure what settings I have wrong. www.mikeswainwildlife.co.uk

Go to Gallery Settings and select Photo Protection in the left sidebar. Turn Download Buttons off. You will still see them when you are logged in as owner, but guests will not.

Thanks for the help Richard, much appreciated.

The Download buttons were turned off when I checked them but going into the settings must have done something as I can't see the Download button on the site now. I can still see the Share button though giving me three options, Photo, Gallery and Social and I'm not sure what that means.

That allows your viewers to share your images outside of your site. If you don't want to allow that go into gallery settings and in the SOCIAL section change "Show sharing options" to Off.

If you have a lot of galleries to change you can use bulk gallery settings to change multiple galleries at once. If you haven't done this before, see http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1240194-how-do-i-change-settings-for-multiple-galleries-at-once-.

Denise, Richard, thank you both so much for all the help. really appreciated.

When you are "logged in" the download button under each photo shows for you. If you have it toggle off in settings,
visitors (log off viewers) will not.

Hopefully this is obvious but in case not -- turning off download does not keep people from downloading the images at the resolution displayed on the screen (even if right click protection is turned on).
