Watermark Downloads

To protect images from improper use, Library Staff can upload and enable watermarks for JPEG images downloaded from the Portal. When enabled, JPEG files will be watermarked using the image file uploaded on the Security page. 

Set a Watermark

1. As Library Staff, navigate to Admin > Portal Settings > Security
2. Click or drag an image onto the upload target 
3. Click “Apply Changes”

You can preview your Watermark at the bottom of the page:

NOTE: PhotoShelter will display the Watermark relative to how it appears on a 2040px image at 72dpi. For best results, we recommend uploading a transparent 24bit PNG file. 

Enable Watermark Downloads

Watermarks can be enabled for JPEG image downloads only and will not apply to Original Files. You will need to select "JPEG - original size" or a smaller size for the "Watermark JPEG downloads" button to be toggled.

1. Open the Portal Visibility & Access settings for a selected Gallery or Collection
2. Click the toggle next to “Watermark JPEG Downloads”
3. Click “Save” to apply your changes
