Hi all,
I'm searching for a solution to my problem.

I would like to sell my own photographs (I'm a (professional) photographer).
It seems that Gallery 2 can do most of the job: manage photos, upload photos, restrict access and so on...

I would like to allow to registered users to download full resolution photographs after paying for them. Can I do this?

Thanks you in advance for any suggestion.

Registered users can download your highest res pictures
Downloading after paying for the pictures is a problem who is still not solved, as far as I know.
But you know who your reg user is, so they can pay after they used the pictures and can and have to tell you where and who these pics have been used.

I am also waiting for a module who tells me who visited the database and what picture has been downloaded and at what time.

The Paypal and Email Checkout module give you the chance to sell pics to the all visitors of your database
Try out these modules and maybe its enough for this moment for you

gargiulo---- high res fulfillment was on the road map,
however everything seems to have gone fairly moribund.

vdd---- WhoVisitedWhatPix&When have you filed a feature request?
If you have please supply a link and I'll add my vote for it.

----best wishes, Robert

A few weeks ago I asked if there was a module who could tell me which reg user visited the database at what time and what pages he visited and what pictures he has downloadede eventually.
This is what I need to do business with the Gallery database, I still look at other databases (commercial)but with this modules I can stick to Gallery
But the answer was: no there is not such a module
A feature request is not worthwile I think, that will take weeks ,months a year?

Perhaps, but if there is no feature request then how does the team know what features are wanted/needed?
There is a "statistics" module under development, perhaps you could add some comments to that?
