P: "smart" watermark to include data (location/name/date/lens/camera - EXIF/metadata etc.)

As we say in France "Better late than never"! 

@cletus_lee  It is none of these.

If a request will not be acted upon - it is tagged as Not Planned with a badge at the top of the thread.  That has not happened here. 

Regardless of the age of the original request all new requests are merged with the authoritative thread so that Product Management can review, in one place, the aggregate counts & comments. We don't bury things. 

This request remains active and collecting votes.  

Why merge this feature request into a feature request that is 9 years old?  Is there any expectation that Adobe is going to act on a 9 year old feature request.  Or is the attempt to bury the new request so deep that it will never see the light of day.  

I think a 9 year old feature request should be closed with a notice that Adobe is or is not going to take action on the feature request.  Or is Adobe unwilling to admit that they will consider such feature request as meritless?

*cicciodylan I use the Photo Info in the Print module and print (nearly) borderless prints I reserve a small margin along one edge of the print (small enough to be covered by a matte or frame), My Print information includes the file name so that I can tie each print back to the cataloged image.  Capture date could be used as well but there is nothing in the capture date to tie back to the catalogued image.  A renamed image file could include the capture date in the name and achieve both a time stamp and a tie back to the catalog file.

You can use Photo info in Print - Page options

After printing my pictures, I spend a lot of time writing the date of shot behind every picture.

It would be very useful to insert some kind of variable watermark that adds some EXIF data during the export phase. So it would be printed on every picture automatically.

Thank you

It would be great if we had more capabilities in building text-based watermarks similar to what we can do with the Filename Template Editor where we can incorportate fields from the exif to build the watermark.

My current watermarks include the year, so I am forced to create a separate watermark for each year.

If we were able to input an expression such as:   {Year Taken}, My Name    

I could have ONE watermark that would automatically show the Year the photo was taken and my name. 

Thank you.
This plugin is really powerful but the UI lacks a preview.

The link to the plugin is https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrmogrify2

You can use LR/Mogrify plugin for achieving this with LR Classic 9.4. I just tried it and it works like a charm. If you want to export more than 10 images you have to donate 3.5 euros min else it works for free with less than 10 images.
