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

Is there a way to create a watermark in either Photoshop or Lightroom that is "smart" in that you can customize it to pull data from the metadata of the photo (date/time image was taken, lens used, camera body used, etc.) or file information (folder, subfolder, etc.) ?

Hey guys, i'm recently faced a challenge and still can not decide. I need set number to a thousand photos, like a: 001, 002, 003, etc. I tried a third-party software such as uMark, but the quality will bad. I saw a thread in the forum about how you can add numbers in the slideshow, but can only be exported in video or pdf. Tell me, have the ways to implement it in Lightroom/PS?

Thanks,
Alex

Also you can't use it for web galleries, unless I missed something

Vivek - I've been using it for a while - it's a decent tool but not of the level of rendering quality you'd expect in a native feature.

Given that this topic opened over four years ago, it is apparent that Adobe does not give two shakes about what in the heck their users want. Time to start looking for a new DI processing software.

All I am looking for is a way to watermark images from LR Mobile...pretty simple, basic user, protect my brand request that continues to be ignored.

That's the one everyone's referring to. Works well.

I am just curious about what third party add-ons are available? I looked through and after a non-serious search on the net, I think the only one I can find that *could* work with LR-CC is the LR/Mogrify 2. Are there any other options?

TIA.

Good theory Gary, but no. It's just a question of working out priorities, and only 28 people have voted on this request in 3 years, which would give Adobe the impression that it's not a high priority for many people, especially when there is a pretty decent third party add on that does the same job.

Demanding won't work, but getting lots of support for this request stands a much better chance. The top 3 requests were all implemented in the last release, and look at the response the Import dialog roll back request got too.
