I have a ZP install with 6 different albums, each containing maybe 12 photos. I want to add some photos to each album, but don't want them to appear until I have a chance to work on descriptive text for each.

There doesn't seem to be a way to prevent an individual image from displaying in its album. Is there supposed to be a "published" checkbox in each Image editing screen? I am using ZP 1.4.0.3

Figured it out. When logged on as Admin, viewing site by clcking on link within Admin area will show all images, whether the "visible" box is checked or not. When just viewing site (not logged on) all choices of "visible" are in effect, and those with the "visible" box unchecked will not be seen.

Exactly, and on our user guide this is explained as well...:-)
