I will also be interested in the answer to this question posed by Lez, it would make a big difference as to my investment decision. I am building my own website for my video and photography collection and am looking for a gallery that blocks download. Thanks Roger ---

It doesn’t currently support this, but let me chat with @ben about this feature and we’ll see if we can get it added asap for you. _Please be aware that the blocking of “right-click” save file is not fool-proof and can quite easily be circumnavigated._ ---

I feature my work on Glass.foto and they have eliminated all ways to scrape images, which brings me to another question. If there is some protection from harvesting by AI? I don’t think most pro photographers would want to use a slide-show that allows any harvesting of their work. It looks like a great, easily set-up slide show, but without these protections I would never use it for anything other than snapshots. Les ---

There is a basic, very workable gallery component included with Elements. Gallery Pro has lots of bells and whistles. You don’t **have** to buy Gallery Pro to have a gallery. ---

No, that’s correct. But if this component would be cheaper, it would see more buyers. I do respect all the work that is needed for the production and upgrades of this component. I’m happy with the standard gallery component. I only it will have CMS in the near future. If you have a lot of photos in the galleries, the Elements project is growing fast. At this moment I have 20 galleries. The Elements project is 1,4Gb big. The photos are aprrox. 150kb per photo. ---

Was about to buy this as I have the other addons and then saw the $129 fee for something that 3/4 of it really should be part of the core. More importantly the price tag sets a precedent for future addons, both from Realmac and from third party devs. Ironically, selling 4 x the amount at $65 is much better than 2 x at $129 (you have double the user base and the same money), yet for some reason software developers in all sectors seem to favour out pricing their software instead of gaining user base (and which the can sell to further down the line). I fear that you are going to price yourself out of the market and will only appeal to die hard’s which will be a shame, because Elements is amazing. I won’t be renewing my license in a few months. I’ve supported financially through all the addons so far, but this doesn’t sit right with me and I don’t want to get committed to a system that I will have to keep paying out large sums for to keep things relevant. I don’t expect a refund on the addons I have already purchased - eve if they were only recently (if you wanted to I wouldn’t stop you!) but if this is not possible is there any way I could gift them to someone else ?
