Disable Photo Download Link

Does anyone know how to disable the download button in the albums? I looked around and I couldn't find any way of removing the button. I don't really want to have to password protect my site and only allow specific people access, but it is the only alternative I see to stopping people from being able to download my images at will. They are of course small res images, not usable for printing, but still, I'd rather not give people the opportunity to snag my work. Any ideas on how to work around this?
Any advice on these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.

So, I gave this a try - putting a box over the download button that is the same color as the background to mask it and it works to a certain degree. The problem with it is that the download button on that third view (the larger image with the thumbnails that scroll across the top) is in the same spot at the subscribe button on the previous page (the page that is the actual album page with all of the photo thumbviews on it). So if you put a box over the download button, it also covers up the subscribe button on that previous page, because somehow the two pages are linked. Now if you don't care if people can subscribe to your pages or not, this solution works. But, if like me, you would like to encourage people to subscribe to the feed (rather than having to send out a massive email every time a new photo is uploaded) then this method will not work.
Thanks for the suggestion though Roddy, on the basic level it makes perfect sense and is a viable work around to the problem.

Disable Photo downloader- how do I organise the pictures

I have been using photo downloader with my PSE6. Everytime I insert a SD card, the downloader will organise all the pictures and put them in folders according the date that the pictures were taken.
Recently my computer is getting slower and I would like to disable the downloder from startup. I can still manually transfer my pictures. But how do organise the pictures by date automaticlly if I am not using downloader ?

Well, if course I know how to create folder manually. Plse read the question carefully, doenloader is creating folders for me automatically when I put my SD card, the question is after I disable downloader, can I do this? Imagine arranging thousand of pictures manually....
Reading the question carefully, you ask "can I do this"? And I am very unclear about what the pronoun "this" is referring to. Yes, you can move photos from the SD Card to your hard drive and put them in folders by date. But I have the vague sense that you are asking something different. So I have read the question carefully and still am unclear about the question.

How to disable photo-downloader for ever ?

Hi there,
after installing Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 my PC always shows an active downloader icon in the systray. I don't want this program to run for ever (or at each startup). Even deactivating is only valid until the next reboot.
How can I disable this program ?
Thanks for your help
Casik

Hi Casik,
You can disable the downloader by right clicking the icon and selecting disable. After this the icon is still visible in system tray but Downloader doe snot launch automatically.
There have been some posts in the past about removing the icon from system tray. However I have not tried the suggestions and cannot tell you for sure whether we they work.
Here is the link to one of the posts:

Disable Photo downloader in photoshop album starter 3.0

When I connect my camera via USB, the photo downloader starts & ties up the camera software. Other forum topics instruct to choose edit / preferences / camera or card reader & deselect "use Adobe photo downloader to get photos from camera or reader", but that is not a choice in photoshop album starter 3.0. Any ideas?

> Is there any way to get rid of the photo downloader icon in the try for PSA 3.0?
You can right click on it and select the option, but it will come back next time you reboot or start PSA SE. To get rid of it permanently: In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter Edition\3.0\Apps and reaname the file apdproxy.exe to something else [like "apdproxy-save.exe"].

Disable photo download for Who's Who ivew.

Hi recently we have configured the who's who ivew in which upon seraching the Emloyee we can see all there details and also see there Picture.
Sad part is that these pictures are downloadable i.e Right clcik and save picture As.
is there a way that we can disable the right clcik option in EP???
are there any security option can that be applied to avoid this problem?

Hi,
If the picture is shown in your browser as an image jpg/gif, then there is no possibility to avoid the users to save it locally.
Even if you supress the menu right click with some javascript, the image can be found in cache, some where in temp/images folder where all internet html content is saved.
If you still want to suppress the menu right click browser, check this:

Adobe Photo Downloader (apdproxy.exe) has to be disabled in both PSE3 & PSE4. Could It Be True of Ot

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=332361
This is a link to an Adobe Tech note (dated 2007-1-4) concerning disabling Adobe Photo Downloader 3 (apdproxy.exe) with both PSE3 and PSE4 installed on the same machine. Could it be that this also applies to other apps, for example having both LR and Adobe Photo Downloader installed on the same machine?

Thanks for the link but my problem is with EXE files (amongst others) so, as stated in the MS article, you can't use that method to change the behaviour.
By comparing to another machine, I have found is a set of keys in the HKCU registry that shouldn't be there -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
"Application"="AcroRD32.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thList]
"a"="AcroRd32.exe"
"MRUList"="a"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWi thProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
Having now removed them using REGEDIT (& I remembered to back up my registry first!) I have now re-installed Acrobat Reader without experiencing problems (haven't rebooted yet, but I'm pretty sure it's fixed) - e.g. I can still use REGEDIT, launch IE7 or Firefox from icons that didn't work before.
I have no idea how those keys got there, but they're gone now ;-}

Remove Download link for photos

Hi
I'm using the Darkroom theme to create a site and have added some photo pages. Each photo page includes a "Download" link, which I'd like to remove.
In the Inspector, I can see how to change the size of the download file and I can also see how to enable and disable and RSS subscription link but the Download link remains stubbornly in place.
What should I do to remove the Download link?

see my post here:

How do i disable automatic photo downloading in PSE 12?

I have been searching for a way to disable the automatic photo downloading in Photoshop Elements 12, but haven't found any way to do it. I don't want the service running at all unless I choose to launch it manually.
What is the correct way to disable this feature, but without uninstalling PSE?

Photo Downloader 6.0 - Disable / Selective Disable

Hi - I have two questions about Photo Downloader. The first question is for version 4.0 (which my mom has). How do you set it up so that the downloader *won't* automatically pop up when you plug in a camera? My second question is about version 6.0 (which I have). Mine pops up when I plug in my camera (which I do want) but it also pops up when I plug in my mp3 player (which I *don't* want). How to I get it to not show up when I plug in the mp3 player? Thanks.

For your mom, first try just right clicking the downloader icon in the system tray and choosing Disable. If that doesn't do it, go to Control Panel (classic view)>Administrative Tools>Services and Find Adobe Active File Monitor and disable it.
Unfortunately, there's no way to be selective with the downloader. You might want to turn it off in the system tray and just turn it on when you want to download photos.

Disable auto-favorites link for Photo Stream

I recently started using iCloud Control Panel and to my surprise the program added a link to the photo stream to my favorites. I don't want that so I removed it, only to see it get set back as soon as I reboot my PC.
I hate this and I can't seem to find an option to disable the favorites link without having to disable the whole feature.
This is a (cut out) screenshot of what link I mean. It's under Skydrive.
Any suggestions on disabling this? Or is it a no-go and am I better off removing the tool completely?
Roelof

If you are using separate AppleIDs with iCloud, you cannot share your main photo streams, but can create "Shared Photostreams" on each of your iPhones and regularely add the contents of your camera roll to the "Shared" stream. These streams can be imported on your iMac in iPhoto or Aperture, or viewed in the web.
See: iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
and (for iPhoto) Share photo streams

Photo Downloader and Kodak Easy Share Gallery - PAS3

Question 1. For some reason Adobe Photo Downloader has decided to place itself into my systray. I can disable it. I can not remove it. I do not seem to be able to find any option or preference to disallow it from launching. While I have a digitral camera, I use the download from the maker. I like it quite a bit. I am less pleased when my systray gets filled with things I don't want. Any guidance?
Question 2. When I want to share an image online, a new screen invites me to use Kodak's Easy Share Gallery. I use Kodak ESG, so why do I need PASE 3?
When I tried to e-mail an image, I thought it would launch my e-mail composition window with the attachment in place. It only gives me the path where I can find the image. It appears that I still have to open the e-mail program, and create the attachment link. I must be doing something wrong, Adobe usually does not make me walk around the block to complete a task.
Guidance?
Thanks

"When I tried to e-mail an image, I thought it would launch my e-mail composition window with the attachment in place. It only gives me the path where I can find the image. It appears that I still have to open the e-mail program, and create the attachment link"
To solve this, try the following:
- Select Preferences option from Edit Menu
- Select Email in the left pane in Preferences Window
If my assumption is correct, the option "Other (Save to Disk)" will be selected in the "Send Email Using" list.
- Select your email client from the "Send Email Using" drop down list.
- Click OK and restart the application
Let us know how it goes.
