I only have my watermarked folder of a clients images. I always save one folder of watermarked, one high res for them. I have looked everywhere and even used a recovery program to try and find the original folders. So in short the only images I can use are the watermarked ones. Now when I import the photos, the thumbnails show the image without the watermark, and it isnt until they are being imported, one by one the watermark is being applied to the image i see.
So if it is being reapplied, then that means the image still exists separately from the watermark.Is there anyway to seperate the two without having the orignal file? Or to have the watermark not reapply when importing?
I'd like to apply my company's emblem (saved as jpg or psd) onto about 100 photos as a watermark.
I'm needing to do some Contact Sheets, is there a quick process to click to do this?
I don't particularly want to Batch Action each photo as the watermark will only appear on the contact sheet, I don't wish to create a whole new set of images if i can help it.
Its a jpg, I need to add it to about 400 photo's quick.I know how to add a watermark using process multiple files, but he wants his logo on the photo's.
I'm using LR 3.6 with the latest updates. I'm trying to add a watermark (which I've done befor and just did) and for some reason the program does not allow watermark as a choice. I can see the box,and the watermark dropdown tab, I just can't choose it. This is true of all my photos now even the one I just successfully added a watermark to.
I'm currently using Lightroom 4.3 (although don't mind upgrading to 5.0 if needed).
I'm trying to find a way to add a border + watermark around an image upon export. A bit of background: I shoot music concerts and have a series of 20-30 images per show that I need this done, some are landscape some are portrait orientation. And keeping the correct photo order is important as I need to show the concert as it happened. I know it can be done in Photoshop via actions, but I'm really trying to move away from PS and do everything in Lightroom.
Pictures speak louder than words, so here is the before (without border or watermark) and the after (same photo, nothing lost, with white border around and the photographer name on the bottom right).
I have edited about 100 photographs over the past few weeks using Lightroom & Photoshop - stupidly, I was concentrating so much on ensuring that my images had a watermark on them, i managed NOT to keep a non-watermark version for sales.
Is there any way I can remove the watermark that is on the JPEG file without having to go through the hassle of re-editing them as it is unlikely I will be able to get the same results as before.
I should say that all of my files have been exported OUT of Lightroom & into a seperate file on Windows Explorer.
Lightroom 4? My watermark is pixelated after export.
I've checked my logo everywhere else and it's wonderful, crisp and clean - including while resizing it in the preview for watermark setup, but for some reason it's pixelated and awful looking after lightroom export.
This is my logo: (click to view since it's gray)
and this is what it looks like on the image after export at 72dpi:
Here is both the image above, plus i've applied the same watermark in photoshop on the right and saved in photoshop:
How do I get the watermark to work in lightroom? worked fine in the trial but does not show up on photos now. I am starting to get very frustrated with it.
I'm using Windows 8 and LR 4.3. My watermark does not appear on exported images eventhough the box is checked in the export presets. Also many typefaces available in MAC are not in Windows. Where I might find the same typeface I use on my Macbook and add to Windows?
How to overwrite an existing watermark. For instance, let's say I have a watermark called "website" with opacity of 50.
If I want to change that opacity to 60, I go to Lightroom->edit watermarks (or pick it straight from the export menu), select that watermark, and change the opacity to 60. Now I have an option to save the watermark. I don't want it to be a new one, I just want it to overwrite the existing watermark with the name "website". But when I type that name in, it says that's already in use. So now I have "website 2", "website 3", "website 4", etc which are all the same watermark with small changes, because it wouldn't let me overwrite any of them when I made a change.
After I edited my Raw images shot by Nikon D600, I'd like to export them to Jpeg format with my watermark. The watermark will not show if I exported the images in original size (6016 x 4016) as shot. However the watermark works fine if I resize the images to a smaller size, such as 1200 x 1024.
I am a new Lightroom user. i can't seem to undo the permanent watermark that appears on my exported image. Tried as I may editing the watermark setting, I was not able to shut off the watermark appearance.
I created a PNG watermark in Elements 9 but when I try to import it into LR it's grayed out and therefor not selectable in the file selection window...
I'd like to export images from Lightroom 4 with a watermark. It COULD be text, but I want to rotate the watermark 30 degrees. I can't see a way to do that in the watermark editor in Lightroom...
Alternatively, I created the watermark in Photoshop, put in the text, rotated it, and saved it as a jpeg. I can't get a clear background. It appears jpeg doesn't support that. SO, I saved it as a .png (jpg and png appear to be the only two formats supported for a graphic watermark in Lightroom). It looks FINE, except in Photoshop the text is WHITE, which is what I want in Lightroom, but every time I open the .png file in the watermark editor in Lightroom, it comes in with BLACK text...
How do I get a Lightroom export watermark with the text I want in the font I want, angled the way I want?
Somehow our watermark function on the library>export process is no longer working after the 4.3 upgrade today. We created a new test watermark and that did not work either.
I have Lightroom 5.3 and I can't get the watermark menu in the export dialogue box to scroll up or down. It's effectively stuck and I can't apply my 2014 watermark. I've tried deleting some existing watermarks in the main lightroom folder but it has no effect on the problem.
I've created a logo in CS6 & saved as a psd & jpeg. I then went to LR$ & created a watermark. I found that I could only use the JPEG image. When I viewed the final image I found the watermark was on a white background even though it was saved as transparent background.Looking at the options for importing images to the watermark template I noticed the PNG import option. I went back to my saved PSD image & saved it as a PNG & tried that. It seems to be what I am after.As Adobe owns both CS6 & LR4 then why isn't PSD an option in the watermark template? (LR4-edit=edit watermark)
How do I simply apply a watermark to an image and have it save within Lightroom 4 without having to export each individual image? I also have Perfect Layers and am having the same problem, it asks me to save each image as a seperate file and it's incredibly time consuming. Am I missing something, or should I return Lightroom and stick with Elements, which has layers?
So I have a number of watermark presets saved in the Watermark Editor. They are graphical ones that I made in LR3.6. Now in LR4 most of them don't work. They don't show up when I try to apply them on Export, and when I go into the Watermark Editor and try to select the preset the Editor shuts down. I cannot delete the presets, I cannot do anything with them. It just crashes.
I found that I can and have been able to create new presets using the same graphical element in the Watermark Editor. But since I cannot look at the original presets I don't know if they are the same way I set them up originally. So how do I clean this list of presets up? Can it be cleaned up? I don't want to be dealing with a list of more than 20 presets all of the time.
