Artwork Page Vs. Gallery Page

Is there any way to upload an image into a specific gallery without the image showing up in the "Artwork" page. I have had buyers who want an image(s) that is in both "Artwork" page(s) and a specific gallery page but, they would like the image to have the title & my name on the print. So I have uploaded the requested image with title & name and put it into a password protected gallery for them to order from but, that new image (with title & name) is a duplicate of the original uploaded image (without title & name) and I feel that it is confusing for those visitors to my site if they view my images from the "Artwork" pages instead of the "Gallery" page. They may not notice the title & name and order that version by mistake.

By "Artwork" Page, I meant "Images" page.

Visitors can't see the version with your name on your artwork page, Lawrence, only the unmarked one. You're only able to see it yourself because you're logged in.

everything goes to the artwork page, galleries are filters only, not folders like on windows. you want everything in a gallery or the file will be impossible to find. start people in your gallery first. but i always look at all the images because it's faster to get an idea of quality and such. if you put it in a private gallery like the bottom one, no one can see those images at all.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what folks are going to want in a print. I can only say - that the name and signature are going to be quite a contrast (from what I can see) in the image posted here. I have a print I ordered where I had made my signature in white on the dark background - I finally had to use a little acrylic wash over it blend it more into the background and to tone it down - because it brought the eye right to the signature and away from the image.

PS: edit - I'd also say that the bottom image is considerably lightened - the greens are brighter and the sky under the bridge appears more washed out.
