    Hi, on my site users can submit images via front-end submissions and can also download images.
    I installed Image Watermark and it creates a watermark on the images uploaded by the users but when the images are downloaded, the watermark is still there. Is it possible in settings to make it that downloaded images don’t have a watermark?

    If this is not something possible with the plugin currently, is it possible to edit the code to make watermarks disappear on downloads?

    Thanks!

    Watermark is being merged with an image, thus it’s there while downloading. But can’t you disable watermarking for fron-end image uploads in plugin settings?

    Ok. You recommend that I disable front end watermarking – why? What would that accomplish?

    My goal is for users to upload pictures and for the uploaded pictures to have a watermark; HOWEVER, when another user buys their image and downloads it for the watermark not to be there.

    Let me know if there’s something I can do.

    Thanks!

    Oh, I see – sorry.

    There is no such option out of the box but you can do this using a trick based on WordPress image sizes feature.

    As you know watermark (using our plugin) can be applied to specific image sizes. Let’s say user uploaded images generate 2 image sizes: one small for thumbnails (800x600px) and the second, larger for anything else (3000x2000px). If you are watermarking them, there is no option to download it without watermark applied. But if you created another 2 image sizes (in your theme) of exact same sizes, but named differently (for e.g. with a suffix _download) you could disable watermarking of it and use as images-to-download only. You could do otherwise too and prefix the images with watermark applied.

    This way you’d have 2 sets of images of exact image sizes, with and without watermark applied.

    It requires a test, but I’m pretty sure it will work as you’d like to.
