Question

Metadata of Lightroom presets

Hello everyone! 
I was wondering if is there a way to add like a metadata of an author to Lightroom preset when creating or exporting it. 

I've seen tutorials how can author's data be added to a photo's metadata. But can author's name or other data be also added to .lrtemplate or .xmp file? Or only the settings? 

I tried to explore the presets I have in my Lightroom but couldn't find any sign of the authors except the name of a preset itself (which can be easily changed) 

 

Thank you!

In LrC, in the Library Module, in the menu bar, click on Metadata, click on Edit Metadata Presets, type in what you want, where you want it, then up top select to save current preset as a new preset. You can use the preset later.

Thank you!

But if I want to export and sell my presets will my entered data be visible
to other users? Or does it work only on my own device where I save it?

A Metadata Presets should only populate the data you choose to be in it.

 

Now, that being said, any metadata placed by other means, for example in camera, and any you add in the normal Library Module metadata edit process might.
