Watermarking and screenshot protection

Found under a gallery's Protection tab.

Full-resolution originals are never served publicly, regardless of any setting on this page -- a client only ever sees a preview until they've downloaded or purchased a photo.

Watermarking

Turn on a real watermark overlay on preview images. You control:

Screenshot protection

A separate toggle that permanently blurs half of every preview image. A visitor has to press and hold to peek at the clear version -- it snaps back to blurred as soon as they let go, and it's never fully clear until they've actually purchased or downloaded. You can customize the title and message shown to explain this the first time a visitor sees it.

Neither setting applies retroactively. If you turn on watermarking or screenshot protection after already uploading photos, use the "Refresh all photos" action on that gallery to apply it to what's already there -- new uploads always get the current setting automatically.
