Hi Jarrod - Great idea - I don't have a video like that though, as there are so many different ways to create a logo watermark. Mine is actually a real photo that I adjusted in Photoshop. Others might use line icons, hand drawn logos, etc. If you have a rough idea of what you'd like to do, just search TH-cam for that type of photoshop work/workflow. Doesn't have to relate to underwater photography to be applied to creating your watermark 🤙
@@BrentDurand tried that. It's all how to add it to an existing photo or just simple text creation. I want to make the logo itself the watermark and there's no tutorial around that seems to do that
@@jarrodunderwood3277 I see. Most watermarks have a clear background, which can only be done as a .png file. Once you have that png file it’s easy to import as a Lightroom watermark. Have you tried searches to “clear background logo as png” and things like that. Alternatively, I could help through Virtual Lesson video chat if that’s of interest: tutorials.brentdurand.com/virtual-photo-lessons/
Arnie! Yea, I just haven't been on social media enough to "spam" everyone promoting my video tutorials. Really need to find the time to cross promote. The more people on this channel, the more time I can justify making new tutorial videos!
@@BrentDurand Def deserves more followers! Would you believe I only found this video by accident? I was looking for a tutorial for how to do a "graphic" watermark for Lightroom Lol!
Hi Phyllis - If I understand correctly then the image size (number of pixels) you choose when exporting an image from Lightroom is based on the recommended specs for your intended use of the photo. For example, you likely want the highest resolution for a print on your wall, where you might only want half resolution for a social media post. PNG is actually a file type. You can easily rename a .jpg as a .png. But if you're talking about a png as an image with a transparent background, then Photoshop is the best way to create this. Hope this helps a bit!
Thanks Solveig. If you haven't yet, definitely check out my workflow tips video to speed up your editing process: th-cam.com/video/t9xNsT52I1o/w-d-xo.html
Hey everyone! Are you liking these Lightroom editing tutorials? If you do, I'll keep adding more to the Lightroom editing playlist on my channel. Thanks!
HI Brent, I have downloaded the trial for Adobe Lightroom Classic and I do not see the toolbar above for me to click on Watermark. How do I get the toolbar to come up? Great video by the way! You have fantastic energy!
Thanks for the kind words Lucinda! I'm not sure exactly where in Lightroom you are, but you can access Watermarks by clicking the navigation dropdown menu 'Lightroom Classic' and selecting 'Edit Watermarks'. Should bring you to the same screen...? Also, if you haven't yet, you can check out all my Lightroom videos here: tutorials.brentdurand.com/category/editing-tutorials/
@@BrentDurand You are terrific! Does it explain how to download images from my Photos on my Mac into Lightroom? I see how to download from Pictures, but I don't have any images I want to download from Pictures. Do you know how to move the Photo file I want in Lightroom into Pictures?
Apparently, the new version does not give you the option to add a watermark. UGH!!!! I just spent a chuck of time trying to figure out where this function was. Sucky. Hey, I see you are a surfer. Do you know Andrew Scaffario? He lives down near you and is a surfer.
@@lucindaeubanks6339 I'm not positive, but it's very likely that the trial version doesn't allow you to add a watermark file. So you'd need to start paying Adobe to gain access to that feature. And nope, don't know Andrew...
Hi Eric - you might be using the 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' app designed for use on mobile. This tutorial was shot using 'Lightroom Classic' designed for desktop computers. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to film a tutorial on using the mobile app yet.
@@phillipjackman3632 Hey Phillip - Are you using 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' or 'Lightroom Classic'? I ask because these are two different programs. The prior is designed for mobile and has minimal features, whereas the latter is the robust desktop version. This tutorial is for Lightroom Classic. I'll make one for the mobile version as soon as time permits (this is all a hobby) 👊
Hi Brent , thanks for your info, , if you get a chance do you know how to fix the export window when the watermark does not let you chose a watermark?? how do I fix that in Lightroom?? when I chose watermark it does not let me click on the watermark option, thanks
This might depend on the version of Lightroom you're using, particularly if using Lightroom CC, designed for tablets and mobile devices. Hard to say without knowing your setup .
You CAN!!! You just export as many photos as you'd like, applying the same Export Presets to all of them. Just like in this process, but select multiple photos to export at the beginning.
Hi Jim - Maybe you're using Lightroom CC (designed for tablet/mobile) instead of Lightroom Classic (designed for laptop/desktop). CC is a lighter version with less features.
@@Jim1971a Right. Lightroom CC is cloud-based and a lighter version of the software with less features than the full Lightroom Classic designed for use on desktop/laptop.
Hi Vernon - thanks for your comment. Check out the publishing date on this video - at the time, the desktop software was called Lightroom and the cloud-based (mobile) software was called Lightroom CC. Wish I could upload a new video but TH-cam doesn't allow that.
Awesome tutorial…thank you
You're welcome Ed! Glad it was helpful

Hi Brent
How do I know how many pixels and the resolution to use in my image sizing? How do I make a PNG with no photo shop?
Hi Phyllis - If I understand correctly then the image size (number of pixels) you choose when exporting an image from Lightroom is based on the recommended specs for your intended use of the photo. For example, you likely want the highest resolution for a print on your wall, where you might only want half resolution for a social media post.

Nice tutorial thanks! Look forward to more! Clear concise and I think the 5 minute length is key!
Excellent, thanks Ryan! Noted re the 5 minute length.

Merci Jérôme! C'etait beaucoup de chance que j'avais cette composition!
does it work on phone for light room?
I haven't used Lightroom CC in a long time, but I do not think you can create custom watermarks.
@@BrentDurand ive found a way to do it but idk how to save it
@@vids_by Hmm, unfortunately I don't know. Don't have it loaded on my phone right now. Sorry!

Hello Tanya - I don't know off the top of my head. I'd suggest contacting Adobe - they should be able to walk you through it.
why doesnt work for me? i use windwos but when i want to export i can only choose where to export...
This might depend on the version of Lightroom you're using, particularly if using Lightroom CC, designed for tablets and mobile devices. Hard to say without knowing your setup .
Vote: Do you want to use a logo watermark or a text watermark?
I wish you could add the watermark to an entire album at once
You CAN!!! You just export as many photos as you'd like, applying the same Export Presets to all of them. Just like in this process, but select multiple photos to export at the beginning.
Your Lightroom doesn’t look anything like my Lightroom. I’ll never be able to figure this out.
