Hello

I was curious, is there anyway to archive an image in ones gallery? Not remove it, just hide it? I know at DA you can archive entire galleries so they are hidden.

Hi, DarkElegance. If you are trying to hide one image out of your existing gallery, you can edit that image and remove it (save it first, if you'd like to restore it back later) and upload something like a blank JPEG instead. You can upload multiple images under one gallery entry, one image and you can choose the order they are displayed in, which one you see first. It can be done for both, images and thumbnails. A thumbnail is generated by default if you remove the existing but don't provide one. Alternatively you can disable the comments for that image too.

----> Once again... make sure you save your images before removing them. Once you remove them they're gone!!!

You can also send yourself a sitemail with an image attached to it I really don't see the point in doing that, but it can be done... I guess. Use this link:

Hope this helps.

Hey, just curious... are you doing this because you don't want A.I. to harvest the artwork within your gallery? It's a little bit too late for doing that!! A.I. sites like MidJourney, etc. already created a database of art images WITHOUT asking for permission from the owners and they're already making millions of dollars in membership fees, selling GPU time to make recycled images from actual art... and I'm pretty sure they've got Renderosity covered already.

Hi, Nah I know midjourney and all that has done the harvesting already.
(as annoying as that is..)
It's more because of the age of the works and quality. While its nice to go back and look, I kind of want to archive it and restart a public gallery.
One reason is (as insane as it is) there is two or three images that still get brought up to me as stolen. In order to do a "take down request" you have to have it on a site to date it. On DA, you can do that even with the images being archived. I was hoping there was a way to do it here.
Thanks for the help though. It is greatly appreciated.

I use to be on here allot posting. But it was, as you say, in a galaxy far, far away. I would say roughly ten years? (it so didn't seem that long, but time has a way of getting away from you)

Not sure if you would know me from any place else.

Like a squirrel... where did it go? lol

Looking forward to see more of your artwork. Love the style. I would just add new images to the existing gallery. No reason to try to change the past artwork really, just focus on creating new art. Keep up the fantastic work.

We do not have a feature for archiving an item at this time. I will post your suggestion in our issue tracker.

You blink and suddenly ten years are gone and you have no idea how or why it went so fast. Lol. Or at least the past three years.

The past three years felt like a neverending Monday lol A Groundhog Day Monday!!

Sounds like good advice! And yes, groundhog day would cover the last three years. Then it all seemed to halfway go away and its like surreal when you see the streets full again etc. You wonder if it was all a dream?
