Describe what problem this solves and why this would be valuable to many users

If I send a shared link to someone I don't necessarily want them to be able to download the photos. There should be a feature which restricts the download capability. When creating a share link there should be an additional option to enable or disable the file downloads.

Additionally it would be helpful to watermark the images so that screenshooting images in a gallery without download function isn't feasible.

This is most probably something professional photographers want and need which are a target group for Photoprism in my opinion.

Describe the solution you'd like

When triggering the "share album" dialogue there should be two new options:

Download: yes/no
Watermark: yes/no

The watermarks could be configured in the user's settings so that each user can define his or her own watermark image.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

None.

Is there a way to boost this suggestion? I'd find great use in this feature.

I was looking for this feature as well and sadly it hasn't been implemented yet. I really hope the developers will think about this idea because this is a feature I really would like to have :)

This feature would improve PhotoPrism significantly, as it is now I am often hesitant about sharing an album on e.g. Facebook, If I do that then I have no control over my photos anymore, all my friends on Facebook can download my photos and use them/misuse them.
It would be a fantastically useful feature and in my opinion not that difficult to implement.
This feature would make PhotoPrism an even more fantastic application.

I think it's a good point.
