Is it possible that you can place 2 watermarks/logos in the watermark edit. So place a watermark at the top right and bottom right at the same time.

Thanks,

Roy Froma

    I'm very new to photography and thought FOR SURE i was just missing where i could add 2 watermarks...so this thread makes me glad to know it  wasnt there for me to find, but also makes me think...ADOBE ITS 2024...let's add a multiple watermark option.

    I appologize if I'm overlooking something, but I can't find a solution how to export a watermark containing text AND logo together. A client wants his logo in the upper left and his url in the lower right corner. Seems to be the simplest thing on earth but lightroom forces me to decide wether if I want to use a graphic OR the text. Is there really no onboard-solution? Thanks for any helpful hint!

      Lightroom Classic is currently limited to applying a single watermark per Export Pass.

       

      Options:

       

      1.  Use a plugin like Mogrify which allows for multiple Watermarks/Annotations
      2.  Create a single Watermark containing both the Graphic and Text component (will be aspect-limited to the ratio of the files on your export) (e.g. A 4x6 watermark will not necessarily work on a square image)
      3.  Use multiple export passes (Apply Graphic on Export, reimport the photos and export a second time with the text watermark) In this case you would want to apply the first pass to a loss-less format (PNG, Tiff, PSD).

        When I've needed this in the past it was limited and option 2 was an easy fix.

      Thanks for your reply Rikk really appreciate it!

       

      1. tried Mogrify, had some issues with the tool, I'll try to dig deeper. 

      2. seems like a inconvenient but logical solution. Problem is only if there are mixed portrait/landscape orientated pictures.

      3. this is how I did it. It works of course but its a pain... 🙂

       

      Adobe, seriously - why isn't that implemented?

      i need two put two logos/watermarks onto my photos

      that is: the logo of my clients (nightclubs, bars, promoters )   and my own "photography by...." in the other corner

      it seems lightroom can only do one logo at a time 

      this is a bit of a pain in the neck

      as a workaround  i have had to make PNG files with both logos on it (same apsect ratio as my photos). each time i get a new client i must make a new PNG file of this kind.  this poses obvious problems when i need to crop photos to a different aspect ratio because the PNG doesnt line up.

      it would be so much better if i could just have a right aligned Logo of my client and a left aligned logo for myself which would apply regardless of the dimensions of the photo.

      it is hard to believe that lightroom cant do this.

      is there a way around it?

        I'm only guessing, but it's probably because most Lightroom users never need to apply more than one watermark. In general, Lightroom handles the most common scenarios and not edge cases; that's why Photoshop still has many capabilities that Lightroom doesn't.

        But it does look like you can get what you want with the LR/Mogrify 2 plug-in. Check the documentation for its Graphical Watermarking feature; there seems to be a plus sign you can use to set up multiple watermarks per export. But I haven't tried it myself.

          surely this  can hardly be such a fringe case, i mean,  the photographers watermark and the client.... should be pretty standard i would think.

          thankyou for this suggestion though I will invesigate it.

            I want to be able to add a logo, a copyright label and a text banner to a large batch of photos in Lightroom.  Is this possible or does this have to be done in 3 separate actions?

              Create a PNG file that contains all those elements and place that as the watermark.
