Q: There is a watermark on the art!
A: The watermark is placed on art that you don’t own and the removal is a special perk for owners of that particular piece of art. If there is a watermark on something you own, perhaps it was sold to someone else before you posted the image. Check to make sure you still own the art.
Q: My share link does not work!
A: Check to make sure you still own the art. The link is made invalid after every sale of the art.
