Protection

Let people look. Do not hand them the master.

Passwords on the door. Blur, watermarks, and censored previews on the unpaid view. The originals wait behind the link.

A share can show the work without handing over the master. Password the door. Blur stills. Watermark the unpaid view. Censor a file so the interesting part waits behind checkout.

These notes walk through each control and when to stack them. The originals stay in the folder until you decide they should download.
