Saving JPEGs for Smugmug viewing not printing

Red Baron

I want to upload JPEGs to Smugmug for viewing but I don't want people to be able to print or save the images. I know with the Pro version I can add a "proof" watermark and prohibit printing but I don't have the Pro version. I know I can create my own watermark in Photoshop (even reduce its opacity) but I'd prefer to keep the images clean. What JPEG resolution can I use to maximize viewing in Smugmug yet still render the images essentially unprintable?

Hi Red Baron

I'm not really a photoshop wiz by all means, but a fellow smugmug wrote a very detailed instruction on how to create watermarks here.

Cool looking plane that Dr I by the way

Thanks Ivar. I've printed the PDF and I'll give it a go. Yes, I agree, the Dr I was a cool looking plane - my favourite, in fact. I'm surprised you actually know the name since so few do these days - then again it was created by a Dutchman
