Rod, yes, I misunderstood Matt, but that just shows how little I know. If the script will stop the casual user, then that works for me; I realize this will have no impact on those that start with more devious intentions.  I do not understand the phplugins, so if you can point me to some instructions, I would very much appreciate it.

Charlie, thanks for the suggestion! 

Thanks!! Frank

Thanks, Rod!  I had missed the okapi-core/ update in that review (understood on lrplugin).

that seems a great solution for Mac users.  I use a PC.  I'm also just a simple photographer, not a web developer, so "easy" is in the eyes of the beholder.  I realize (now) that Backlight is better utilized by folks who do know such things, which is a bummer for me because I seem to be able to only scratch the surface of its otherwise seemingly endless capabilities.  Yes, the user forum has been helpful, but unfortunately, I just don't have the time to develop developer skills.

I couldn't find anything on scripts anyway (likely proving my point above), so the effort defaulted to pointless anyway.

Sorry for coming into this conversation late, but I just found this string as I was researching how to better protect my images on Backlight.  This chain was very helpful, thank you, but I have to say that I am still a bit perplexed.  I’ll stop worrying about ppi vs dpi, but printing from these files is not my main issue: as currently configured, it is too easy to ‘right-click’ and download my images for digital use.  I’m still trying to learn all this stuff, so perhaps I’m missing an obvious solution, but as I read this chain it seems the answer is “watermark it.”  I’m hoping for something a bit simpler.  I’m forced to use watermarks at the moment, because I don’t know what else to do, but I hate how watermarks ruin the presentation of my images.  Hate it.  I’ve seen other sites where the “right-click” feature is fully disabled—why can’t that be the answer here for Backlight, too?  Then ppi, dpi, screen size, image size, et.al. issues don’t need to be considered with how to then implement an effective watermarking effort.  My ideal solution would be to have a simple checkbox in one the Designer Templates that enables/disables the feature (if there is already such an option, please help, and sorry for not finding it on my own).  It would save a ton of steps. 

Thanks
