ShowMyPhoto Feature
Photo Download Controls for Event Galleries
Photo download controls give photographers more control over how guests access photographs from an event gallery. ShowMyPhoto lets photographers configure the download experience for each event.
What are photo download controls?
Photo download controls are settings that let a photographer decide how guests can access and download event photographs. ShowMyPhoto provides event-level controls for managing available photo downloads.
Available Download Controls
- Download access: Configure whether available photo downloads are offered for an event.
- Download quality: Configure the available image quality or size where supported.
- Individual or batch access: Use the download workflow supported by the event configuration.
- Watermarking: Combine downloads with event watermark settings when required.
- Event-level management: Apply the appropriate download policy to each event.
Why Photographers Use Download Controls
- Manage how finished photographs are distributed.
- Provide controlled access when appropriate.
- Support photo-selling or print workflows where relevant.
- Combine download settings with watermarking and gallery access controls.
Download Controls and Watermarking
Download settings determine what access is offered, while watermarking can add visible branding or discourage unauthorised reuse of displayed images.
Frequently Asked Questions

ShowMyPhoto provides event-level download controls so photographers can configure whether downloads are available.
Can I control download quality?
Where supported by the event configuration, photographers can control the available download quality or image size.
Can download controls prevent screenshots?
No. Website settings cannot reliably prevent screenshots on a guest's device. Watermarking can instead help discourage unauthorised reuse.
