How to prohibit copying of photos?

I bet there is a quick answer to this. How is it you set up your gallery so no copying of photo is allowed?

Hi Marie,

It's a pro feature on SmugMug:

What you can do as a standard account is, block originals - you do that in gallery customization:

I hope this helps! Holler back if you have more questions.

Thanks Andy. Here's a plug to add this a standard user account!

There are many of us who are not professional but would like to be able to prohibit copying.

Thanks for the quick reply
though Andy!

Hi Marie, I won't mince words here, we must have ways to differentiate our account levels - and this is one of them. So I wouldn't count on us adding that to the standard level. I wish I had a better answer for you....

Understood.

Worth a mention, though.

What you must realize though, is that if someone can view one of your pics, they can copy it regardless of what you (or Smugmug) do. Viewing a pic means it gets downloaded to your PC. If it's on your PC and you know where to look to find it, you can copy it...
