This could be your blog name, your URL or it could be the title of the image or subject matter. Type the words you want on the image in that text box. In the Watermark Editor box, on the left side, you'll see a preview of the image that you selected. Using the pulldown menu, select Edit Watermark… and you'll see another dialogue box pop up called Watermark Editor where all the magic happens. Click the button next to Watermarking and that will allow you to see a pulldown menu. The default (because you've probably never used this option before) is to have no watermark. The one you want is called Watermarking – just click the triangle next to it so it points down. Just pull the scroll bar all the way down and you'll see those options. Now the thing about this export box is that there are a few options lower in the box that most people don't access or even know that are there.
If you've worked at all with Lightroom you should be familiar with this dialogue box as this is how you export all your images to make them web ready. Make sure it's selected and then go up to the top of the menu and go to File > Export… which should bring up a dialogue box to export the image images. After repeatedly telling people this, I decided a tutorial was in order.įirst, select the image that you want to add type to. Everyone seems to think you need to use Photoshop or Illustrator or InDesign (or a freebie online program like PicMonkey) to add text to pictures but you can totally use Lightroom to add text to photos. There are plenty of tutorials out there on the awesomeness of Lightroom, but one thing I get asked about (and people don't seem to know much about) is adding type on images. Now I do about 95% of my post processing in Lightroom. But, grudgingly, kicking and screaming, I entered the brave new world and became an avid Lightroom fan.
LIGHTROOM HOW TO ADD TEXT TO PHOTOS FULL
This was back in the stone ages, when there were floppy disk drives attached to computers, the internet required a modem with a dial up connection and you still occasionally had to turn over your mouse to clean out the ball full of lint because it had stopped working properly. As a designer, I've been working with Photoshop since version 2.5. I'm a huge advocate of Adobe Lightroom but it took me awhile to get there.
