Thank You! Finally, a video that made sense in creating and adding a signature onto a photo. Keep up the great work, friend!

[@Bardissiat]

simple, clear and to the point, thanks for breaking the taboo

I just committed to watermarking my photos. I fumbled through creating one but was had no idea I could apply it in Lightroom. Thank you!

[@jillofalltrades2020]

I've watched this twice and its so helpful, thank you!

[@shaheed313]

thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to figure this out for the longest.

[@chris4508]

Great video. Thanks a lot for posting this. I also wanted to say thanks for doing that amazing Creative Live class last week. I learned so much about lightroom that I've been going back and re-working all my photos and they are coming out amazing. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the helpful teaching material. You rock!

[@MattKloskowski]

You're very welcome Chris! :-)

[@nancyPirrelloMusic]

Well done, Matt Kloskowski, I liked your video and I have subscribed, you are clear and precise in your way of explaining more so than others who just linger on and sometimes miss points in what one has to achieve. I hope you have other videos on lightroom for beginners as I need to learn. cheers Nance

[@oldgriz816]

Thanks Matt, great tutorial!

[@Donavan1951]

Thank you for the information. I will give it a try and see if this works as well using Photoshop Elements 14.

Thank you....just what I need

[@ChoxTheMuse]

I just read this on your blog ! The signature looks great and it's a good thing that you aren't putting your real signature out into the internet world =)

[@BADphot0graphy]

Good job ! Thank you !

[@kyokushinnojoe]

Awesome! Thank you

[@Jbreal100]

great video thank you!

[@elboogie2324]

This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@susanlindberg2172]

Thank you for this Matt! I just hired someone to create a signature watermark and logo for me and am waiting for it but I had no idea how to add it to my photos in LR so this was really helpful! One question - it looks like I should be able to change size and transparency myself in LR - is that correct?

[@SalemOchidi]

I love this, thanks

[@alexmedina27]

Great work Brotha

[@Brenthoward111]

Hi Matt, Thanks for this great tutorial.... I followed along and created a signature and saved it as a transparent PNG but when I put it into the identity plate editor it doesn't show up on the top left corner of my lightroom identity plate.

[@Firesong01]

this is So awesome many many thanks

[@DalsPhotography]

Matt, I loved the idea of the photobook with the signature below the photo, how did you do that part? I got lost there. Thanks a lot! Best regards from Uruguay!

[@dannyathanasiou1292]

Hey Matt, thank you for the video.very informative. Question for u, once i have finish and saved my signature in black . how can i make it in white as well withought having to start from scratch. Dont think i can make it the same since i have made it with my mouse.

[@ddheller]

Matt, thank you for the video. I am a lowly novice with Ps - and my first use is to create a signature. I use Photoshop on the iPad to create a signature. How do you change the size of the document to be rectangular like your video? I’ll keep poking around… maybe I’ll figure it out! 😅

[@mustafakasmi5160]

Excelent video. thanks a lot.

[@johndale6525]

Great info...Thx Bro

[@WilliamStaney]

Why did you choose the low res instead of the desktop res for the photo signature watermark?

[@KillinMeSchmalz]

For some reason the signature part didn't work for a touchscreen but I got around that so thanks!

[@liliamrivera4960]

Great video

[@CGSevenxPhoto]

You made the entire process look very complicated...and does this apply to the trail versions of either software app?

[@kgotlanku9667]

Thank You So Much

[@fettsphotography1898]

hey Matt great video I have an issue it doesn't let me click on the png saved file I can see it by can't click using Lightroom watermark option help!!

[@provinciana1234]

thanks for sharing new friend is here

[@paquitoperez2116]

I may have missed something but at 3:53, you say that your identity plate is just "matt" but then when you close the dialog box, your whole name appears on the top left side of Lightroom under Adobe Lightroom CC2015. How's that?

[@armandoguerreiro8861]

you have helped so much , thanks .

[@MattKloskowski]

No problem!

[@millerbrosmediaoffgridflyf7767]

Hey great video! Stupid Question - Did you turn the watermark white initially in PS?

[@jleecortazar_mkibc]

What is the size of the document you used to make your unique signature in this tutorial?

[@Aussiecakes]

He missed the most important point missed

[@mixo_buddy3165]

Thank you

[@DavidLevinPhotographer]

Nice video, Matt! Although I don't have a Wacom Tablet, I do have an Apple iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. So what iPad app can I use to create my signature and then later export to my desktop PS and LR software apps? Thanks! (BTW, it was great seeing you last week at PSW 2016.)

[@DavidLevinPhotographer]

I found the answer: Adobe Sketch. This synced easily with Creative Cloud to move to my desktop's Photoshop CC.

[@limseangea8637]

Great video.
By the way, how can we Watermark the image's name itself to the photo?

[@koralrescue1893]

Maybe it is a stupid question, but how do you export with the photo logo? Each time I try it does not transport with it....thanks!

[@dwayneseeram9281]

Help. My signature does not show up when I export my image...

[@blackaladur]

Thanks

[@jeffreysavoie37]

What size should the png be?

[@petesvidz]

Could you use a handwriting font and then type it in.

[@hopefredrickson11]

Thanks! This is awesome, but wondered if there a way to get a written step by step guide of what you do here?

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks Hope. This is only available in video.

[@hopefredrickson11]

Matt Kloskowski ok. Thanks for the quick reply! The Pause button will become my newest friend!

[@cheristader8842]

How do you make this white without starting over?

[@dpatterson4483]

How do u get the copyright symbol on ur watermark

[@madelynmai5470]

I have a question: I download the Lightroom software on my Macbook Pro, however the application name is Adobe Lightroom CC so I can't add my watermark to my photo. Any advices??? Did I download the wrong application??

[@Vanessa7S]

download lightroom classic

[@user-qi7gj1fk3s]

what company did your signature

[@ontariotrailcameras6619]

Hi Im using a Mac Pro and using LR CC but I don't see any of the menu options your showing. I have the photo logos saved but can't get them where I can use them on my photos in LR

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. This video was done for Lightroom Classic CC, not LR CC. Thanks!

[@kileeoconnor1422]

I did a logo from the same place but when I followed your steps LR says my file is really large and do I want to use anyway? What do i do? I am new to LR.

[@Diamonddestiny08]

Go to PS and crop the excess space from around your signature. If it is still too large, make your font a little smaller and then crop the excess again until it fits.

[@janicemcgee8704]

Do you know how to use Photopolish watermark program by Photologo?

[@marieschaller4560]

Just got my logo from photologo, downloaded and saved it. but when I went to put it on my identity plate, it said file was too large. How do I fix that?

[@joeysandoval2511]

I have the same prob

[@jysonjackson]

I don’t see the identity plate option...Please help..I have the latest edition of LR

[@theworldaccordingtofeatherjay]

@@jysonjackson same here. None of these options are available in LR Classic for me.

[@limerickspoons]

Matt im new to all this...so you started with a new blank document...thats great ! now do you not think it would be great if you showed me how to do that first. ...thank you but ill have to try somewhere else to learn this j.

[@NORLateCrew]

IM ON CC LR AND DONT SEE NONE OF THOSE OPTIONS :/

[@sawpresent7868]

Night Owl Racing shit thank you! Me too

[@loriwilliams4123]

Stupid question but when I click on Adobe Lightroom in top left corner it does not show option of Edit Watermarks or Identity Plate Setup.

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. If it doesn't say "Lightroom Classic" in the top corner you're using the "cloud" version and it doesn't have watermarks in it. Thanks!

[@chaolee7991]

What site did order your signature?

[@AJ-iy1tx]

Devin Lee photologo

[@melodymcarady2305]

when you save this as a png file, where are you saving it to???

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. Anywhere you want. LR won't care where it is.

[@-aneesh-9321]

bro font name or link please

[@karenm.crye-leikerealtor6215]

How do you add signature to many photos at one time?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. You can batch export this in Lightroom.

[@headshothemanth9888]

Font name ?

[@jaiderdrummer]

how can i create a white one?

[@AmyPezzicara]

Add a Color Overlay using the fx dropdown at the bottom of your Layers window.

[@QJR583]

Whats the name of the company that does this for you? The one you mentioned was cheap! LOL....

[@cookjohn113]

Which company makes logo?

[@MattKloskowski]

photologo.co

[@janeyates9556]

Can you tell me what you know about the company photologo.co? I saw this on your Your Tube, sent them money for a logo and I am having problems with them...that they didn't receive it and asking me strange questions about my Pay Pal account.

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi Jane. I don't know much about them. I just thought it was cool, but I don't know anything about the company itself. I paid and they did indeed get mine to me in about 2-3 days.

[@janeyates9556]

I had lots of problems with them and when they finally sent the logo it was incorrect so I had to ask them to do it again. I was not happy about how it was handled.

[@PatrickBoening]

I just bought my logo there...was delivered in 24 hours...I was not happy...they did it again (free of charge)...and now I am thrilled. Why would you send money...and how? You can pay via PayPal or by credit card...who sends money or money order to online companies?

[@danniekemp2990]

I must add that I was not happy with the results of the file either. After assurances that I "should have no trouble" using the files in Picasa, it simply did not function with any transparency of background. They told me to just cut out the white around the signature. The files they sent me certainly did not resemble the flair in the how tos. They refused a refund, having sent the files their obligation finished.

[@Mradam912]

Why when i turn off background also signature disapear please help

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. Somehow you've flattened your image or put the texture directly on your background in a non-editable way. Maybe check your text tool settings with mine to make sure they're the same. Good luck!

[@Mradam912]

@@MattKloskowski thank you qo much

[@xjrtoni9625]

I must be really dumb as none of this works for me driving me insane been trying for months my LR hasn't even got the same options as shown on this video

[@koralrescue1893]

Are you using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC?

Let's see how it works just log in

[@harnishpithadia6010]

hey can you please make one photography sign for me too ??

[@PatrickBoening]

Sure at the moment it costs you US $ 39.99 and you will order it via: www.PhotoLogo.co

[@danniekemp2990]

If you are a Picasa user don't waste your money. Pay no attention to what you may be told by PhotoLogo Signature. Do not waste your money.
