How to add copyright to already existing photos

 

Hello everyone, I am trying to put copyright on my photos and can not figure out how. I have gone into import and turned copyright on, but the copyright only shows up on new photos that I import

How do I add copyright to already existing photos?

I think you will have to do that manually. Copy the copyright info from a photo that already has it, then paste it in the copyright field of the other photos.

The problem with doing that manual copy and paste is that on iOS/iPadOS the paste can only be done to a single image at a time. However, both Lightroom Mobile on Android, and the Lightroom Desktop app on MacOS or Windows, have the ability to apply the same copyright info to multiple selected images in one go.

Yes, maybe I wasn't clear but I meant you'll have to paste the info one image at a time.
