I'm glad that's working now. The ACL protection is at the album level, but requesting a photo on the API will fail if the album is not ACL'd to that user, or an authkey is used. However, the direct photo URL, such as https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pGpBeWJ4GV8/TxvNh1_nDOI/AAAAAAAAalU/9pa0FOAZ46Y/s2045/DSC_3804.jpg, is not ACL'd, so embedding a link like that into a webpage will not ACL check any users. Is that what you mean?
