Can you put copywrite text on an image

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to put text (ie copywrite) on an image using Lighroom? I used to to it with CS3, but I don't have that at the moment.

Cheers,

Ryan.

Hi,

There is a checkbox In the export dialog of Adobe LR that says "Add Copyright watermark". If you check it, as long as you've set the copyright metadata, LR will write the © Your Name onto the exported photo. You need to have the copyright IPTC field set with the name you want to appear.

LR adds a SMALL text in one of the lower corners of the image. I guess the font is 10-15 pixels big... There are other ways to put a big watermark (or other things) described in a link I've found somewhere here on wetpixel. That method is automatic but opens PS and go through that. I'll post the link if I can find it, but now I'm going to eat...

Hey Ryan

Yes you can using an export action in lightroom called mogify

This is available from Timothy Armes-Timothy Armes-LR2 Mogrify-there is a free version, or you can donate to get a full version.

You will also need to install imagemagik-full installation instructions are on his site.

With it you can add graphic or text watermarks (at whatever size you want)and a host of other things-well worth it!

All the best
