Thanks for the info - I thought that Lattice was a sharing service where you opted IN the images you wanted to share but hadn't had a chance to investigate it yet. Will opt out til I figure out how it actually works.

I was opted in by default and changed it. According to the Lattice forum, the default is different for some but most were opted in by default, and it was a surprise.

What happened to my watermark?
For the best image viewing experience, Lattice does not use watermarks on images. Your name/copyright and filename will appear on all of your images upon mouse hover (or persistently on touch devices). Moreover, when a user clicks to enlarge an image, they are presented with your name, the image name and description, a link to your website, the option to email you directly and even directly purchase or license the image (if you�ve priced it in your PhotoShelter account).

To further protect your images, we�ve enabled PhotoShelter�s Image Theft Guard across the Lattice platform, which prevents people from right-clicking to save your image or attempting to drag it to their desktop.


(Of course, everyone who knows how to do a screen capture can easily bypass these "protections")
