Watermarks Changed

Allen

Warning!! Check your old galleries, I have over 20 galleries that the watermark "PROOF" has been applied to whole galleries.

These galleries were set to "Default" in gallery settings. I had to go into settings and reset to a specific watermark.

BTW, I've been through this in the past a couple times finding PROOF applied and fixed them all. Some of these same galleries.

EDIT: notice one gallery so far that has watermark off/disabled but PROOF shows on a photo.

Hey Allen, can you please let our heroes know about this and provide links to these specific galleries? Thank you.

Allen

That could be difficult, been fixing as I find them. Usually find them when looking at keywords.

Found one. This gallery has watermarks turned off. But PROOF shows on all.

Single photo. KW set to default in gallery.

Every gallery except one in this folder has PROOF. Watermarks is turned off on all.

I have a suspicion that the program run every night to find corrupt photos might be the cause.
It kept resetting square thumbnails to original and rather then fixing it they removed square thumbnail ability.

Allen

BTW, many of these have been fixed in the past.

One of 5 photos in this gallery has correct WM even though WM set to OFF. Figure that one out!

This gallery has one photo with correct WM and two photos with none. 24 others have PROOF.

Hey Allen, please leave this with me. I will file a bug report and I will let you know as soon as I hear back from our engineers. Please do not make changes to those images - I would like our engineers to take a look at them.

Allen

Those were all 2005 galleries. Looked back through 2004 galleries and all looked okay.

Hey Allen,

So sorry about this delay. I have some news from our engineering team.
It looks like the watermarks that you have applied to this gallery no longer exist. The system detects that you request watermarking on this gallery, but because it cannot watermark your galleries because the watermark file does not exist anymore - it defaults to the default watermark image.
