Photopass/Memory Maker never gets better

So, to clarify about these watermarks, after you download your photos, they are watermark free?

The watermark says Disney PhotoPass, similar to what professional photography studios do to prevent people from scanning the proofs. They disappear when you download the photos. I suspect people were able to figure out a way to download or copy photos from the website that had not been paid for. The watermarks completely ruin the picture, so no one would want to try to do that now.

Yes, I would assume that any downloaded pictures would be free of watermarks. What the CM was telling me is that if you pre-purchased your MM, that once you download one photo, the watermarks you see online while editing photos will disappear on the website. That makes editing your photos on Disney's website to use their borders and stickers easier.

Ok, thanks. Oh, I know people were definitely just using screen shots of the previews and not buying the photos. I've seen many people here giving that advice, so I cannot blame Disney one bit for watermarking them.
