    Lightroom CC users

    I’ve been asked by several parents to go take varsity football and cheer pics. The school is requesting pics for their weekly news letter. In LR CC, is there a way to share an album that the school can download with a small watermark, but also share the album with social media and parents that has the large watermark?

    Sure. You'd just need to do 2 different exports of the pics. One group of jpegs with the small watermark and a 2nd group with the large watermark. You could make the school's group larger file size high res pics if you wanted to, and then make the social media pics smaller file size low res pics.

    I shot sports pics for my kids' school for several years. I chose to just give the pics to the school and all the families, so I didn't worry about watermarking or file size. I didn't want to have to hassle with taking several small dollar orders every week and all of that. It was enough work just taking the pics and processing them. I uploaded each game's pics to SmugMug as well as to facebook. I posted a link on facebook to the SmugMug gallery and told everybody to just right-click and download whatever pics they wanted from SmugMug, as those were the full-sized highest res versions.

    But if you're wanted to sell pics, then you'd want to limit file size and put the watermarks on them and all of that.

      Thanks Shane,
      The process you just described sounds like the old Lightroom. This new CC cloud based looks a lot different and works differently.

      I create an album, them add the pics to that album and then edit. There is no export option for saving them to my pc or ext hard drive like the old LR.

      I can go into any album and click the share button and it gives a link like this.



      This allows whoever to see the edited pics and down load them. My issue is even though I have the copyright turned on, it doesn’t add the watermark to the photos when they’re downloaded on the customers end. It’ll only put a watermark on them if I share each pic individually from my Lightroom.

        And this is what it does to the photos if I share each one individually.

            You might try upload all the images to the cloud and then create a link where all the images are stored. Maybe Adobe portfolio. Or the back end of your photo website.

            There are also hosting services provided by photo labs where people can see the images and then purchase prints and have them mailed. You set the price per print or for download, and shipping is set by the lab. This is what I do on the off occasion I shoot sports.
