Auto generated downloads and emails for digital image sales.
Merry Christmas!
So I'm using CE4 Publisher and CE4 Cart.
When I upload photos from events they have minimal editing (colour corrections, exposure etc.) after a client selects photos for purchase I then undertake full retouching and editing on just those purchased images.
Currently when a purchase is made an automatically generated email is sent. How can I edit what this email says?
Also a link is created for the customer to download digital images, this is fine but they are unedited and still contain a huge watermark. Is there a way to require me to upload retouched before they can download an image?
Eg: when they click through the download link it would say "image pending" or something.
Thank you

Re: Auto generated downloads and emails for digital image sales.
Merry Christmas 
The email text can be edited in the Orders section of the Cart Settings.
For Publisher-generated digital downloads, the only option to tweak the photos is to remove the watermark by checking the 'Exclude watermarks in photos-for-purchase' in the album settings of Publisher in Lightroom. After changing this, you'll need to republish the photos, making sure that the Publisher setting "Push metadata without updating existing photos" is *not* checked.
For greater control of the photos-for-purchase, create an alternative virtual product for the cart with a different download directory, and manually export and upload images to that directory. These need to match the filenames of the corresponding files found in the photos directory. Alternatively, you can delay the uploading of photos-for-purchase until after purchases have been made, by setting Enable Offline Digital Purchases in the Cart Settings. You would then only need to prepare and upload the digital files for the orders that include them.
