I just copy and paste mine onto a layer in photoshop. Gives me lots of control over opacity and size that way. Don't know of a way to do it in lightroom.

I'm following instructions now right outta the book and they show an example with the C and a circle around it like it was typed in off the keyboard. I can't even do that!

You will have to create your signature, save it as a file, and then this application overlays it onto your image when you export your image from lightroom.

For example, I use it to watermark images:


If your looking for something else, than please ignore my suggestion.

Can you put the mark anywhere - or just in the middle? Would love to have an export for LR that lets you choose where you put your mark... have one now it's just an extra step...

I know how to do it in Lightroom. However, it only works in the Print and Export module. Placement is, how shall I put it, primitive? Or at least i haven't figured out how to put it here I want it. you can place the watermark "behind" the image. Make it invisible so to speak.

You get this little symbol, © , from the character map if you use Windows. I'm clueless if you use a Mac. Once you find the © symbol, the rest is easy. Like this...

If/when I can figure out how to place it where I want it I'll be dangerous.

I don't know if the new version of LR has a way of doing this, but older version, you need to use a plugin.

I've been using this same method with mogrify. It's free and very easy once you got it figured out.

You can watermark your images all day long anyway you want to in lightroom. Just go to the slideshow section and use the text to watermark your image and adjust opacity or color. Then just export it out.
