Newbie question re metadata

[jve36]

Hi there,

I'm relatively new to Lightroom, have used Lightroom CC on and off for years but it's no longer working on my computer so have upgraded to version 4.3 — and I can no longer see how to add metadata to photos!

How do I adjust the presets so all photos get my copyright on import? And how can I add copyright to the ones already imported?

I'm probably staring right at it but can't figure it out — any help would be hugely appreciated! I'm on a Mac laptop, running Catalina 10.15.7.

I assume that you're using Lightroom (not Lightroom Classic).  In Lightroom, to add copyright to all photos at the time of import, open the Lightroom Prefereces, click on the "Import" tab, check the checkbox for "Add copyright to imported images" and enter your desired copyright into the text field.

To add copyright to images which have already been imported, select all the images in the grid view, click the "i" button in the lower right corner of the app window ("i" for "info") and enter your desired copyright into the "Copyright" field.
