This is something I personally need very badly.

I need to share contact sheets with customers but at the same time ensure none of the images are downloaded (not even screen captured) directly from the preview albums.

I know I can work around this by exporting JPGs and then adding them separately for sharing but that is cumbersome.

What we need is the ability to add watermarks at the sharing stage without having to imprint them onto the image files themselves.

I use the mobile part of LR CC to sync collections so that I can send the link to clients for viewing and approve/disapprove, like or hate, etc. I find that there is an extreme possibility of theft of my photos and I am looking for a way to put my proof copyright on the subject photo prior to syncing the collection. I am not able to find a way to do this in LR without exporting first or to a "print to file", both of which I do not want to do. Question: is there a way to accomplish the watermark without going into PS, applying the watermark and then return it to LR? Can I make a watermark into a preset, that I can use the spray can on for a large number of photos, or just apply a preset to the selected photos? Searching for answers.

thanks in advance for your help

At this moment- No. But it has been requested by others.

Currently you must Export a derivative image file so as to embed the watermark into the pixel data of the image.

You do not need to go to Photoshop for a watermark (creating a TIF), instead, Export from LrC with a Watermark (as a JPG at long edge dimension of 2560px would be sufficient.). Check the export option to "Add to this Catalog", and a selected folder, to then create a Collection you can sync to the Cloud.

Create an Export Preset that can shorten the procedure.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Hi Guys,

i create a collection in Lightroom Classic and share it online that my clients can see the photos to comment and like them. Normally i get a respone which photo they wanna have. I develop the photo, send my invoice and were fine.

Sometimes i dont get a response and the client dont wanna have a photo, because they are able to make screenshots from the photos and dont wanna pay. (I think they are fine with the already good looking UNdeveloped photos).

Please implement the option "watermark" or "copyright" in the settings as shown in the photo below.

Im sure a lot of people will love it.

Thank you for your help

Best regards

Ability to add a watermark to Shared & Invite albums via Adobe Lightroom app and desktop version. This is a great and easy way to send proof albums to clients to pick favorites and add comments with a Watermark.

The share & invite feature on web ,mobile and cc creates a link that you can share to clients, you can enable to option to allow jpeg downloads, however there is no option to enable watermark on those downloads, I'm trying to make my work flow easier.

In order to send clients watermarked images, I would have to export with watermark, upload to my Google drive and send the a shared link from Google drive. If however there is an option to enable jpeg downloads with watermark, it would make my work flow easier, not having to export with the watermark then you another cloud storage provider to share. Please advise if this feature can be enabled.

Hallo ,

Ik gebruik LR Classic, 11.1op mijn Imac met macOS Big Sur 11.6.1.

Ik publiceer mijn verzamlingen op mijn website (Steenfotografie.nl) maar wil ter bescherming van mijn copyright een watermerk in mijn foto's.

Bij exporteren werkt het super echter in een verzameling kan het niet (voor zover ik weet).

voorbeeld zonder watermerk in verzameling (https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/dbcd81e459fb4542bbe0ea6b7cf952f8)

Please add the watermark feature to shared albums. This will solve a major issue with I have with clients stealing my work without paying for it by screenshotting my images

It would be great to have the watermark on the mobile app when I share a link to the album. I have seen it for when I send the pics through email and by text but there is no option for when I send a link to the album to someone.
