USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2
Creating web photo galleries
Display a copyright watermark in web photo galleries
Photos in your web photo gallery can display a text-based watermark with copyright information derived from IPTC
metadata. Lightroom does not support graphical watermarks. To add a graphical watermark to photos in a web gallery,
use a third-party template such as
TTG Postcardviewer
.
Note:
You can also apply a text-based copyright watermark to photos that you export from Lightroom. See “
Specify
metadata handling
” on page
126.
•
In the Output Settings panel, select Add Copyright Watermark.
Lightroom displays the metadata copyright in the lower-left corner of the large image preview. You cannot edit or
customize the size, placement, or appearance of this copyright watermark.
•
To display copyright metadata in the caption below the large photo, in the Image Info panel, choose Edit from the
menu next to Caption. Then, insert the copyright IPTC metadata token. The placement of this copyright cannot be
edited, but the color can be specified with the Detail Text option in the Color Palette panel.
Create custom web gallery templates
Modifications you make to the colors, layout, text, and output settings can be saved as a custom web gallery template.
After you save it, the custom template is listed in the Template Browser for reuse. You can create new folders in the
Template Browser to help organize your templates.
