Image Protection Measures in the Shop

Dynamic Watermarks add an extra layer of protection to the preview images displayed in your online galleries. When enabled, a dynamic overlay is applied alongside your existing watermark, making it more difficult for images to be cleaned using common watermark-removal tools.

Combined with your existing watermark, Dynamic Watermarks help better protect your studio's images while still allowing customers to preview them before ordering.

In this article, you'll learn how to enable and use Dynamic Watermarks in your Shopping Cart Template.

Dynamic Watermarks allow you to:

• Add an additional layer of image protection.

• Increase the difficulty of removing watermarks from preview images.

• Choose from two dynamic overlay patterns.

• Enhance your overall image protection strategy.

Workflow also includes desktop screenshot protection to help reduce unauthorized image captures.

Dynamic Watermarks are configured within your Shopping Cart Template.

To access the setting:

1. Open Shop.

2. Select Manage Cart Templates.

3. Open the Shopping Cart Template you want to edit.

4. Select the Watermark tab.

 💡 PRO TIP: For the best protection, enable a Dynamic Watermark alongside your existing text or image watermark rather than using it as a replacement.

Workflow currently offers two Dynamic Watermark patterns:

Both options are designed to make watermark removal more difficult while allowing customers to preview images before placing an order.

Dynamic Watermarks have been tested against widely available watermark-removal tools and provide an additional layer of protection for preview images.

Because image-removal technology continues to evolve, Dynamic Watermarks should be used as part of a broader image protection strategy.

For the best results, we recommend:

• Using a Dynamic Watermark together with your existing text or image watermark.

• Reviewing your watermark placement to maximize image coverage.

• Keeping your Shopping Cart Template settings up to date as new protection features become available.

Workflow also includes desktop screenshot protection to help reduce unauthorized image captures.

When the system detects actions commonly associated with taking a screenshot on a desktop device, shoppers are presented with a pop-up instead of the enlarged image.

The pop-up allows customers to:

• Return to the gallery they were viewing.

• Copy the gallery link to share with others.

This feature helps discourage screenshots of enlarged preview images while maintaining a smooth shopping experience.
