I need to overlay or put my name on my photos so when they are viewed people can see my name.
I use Lightroom 2.6. Is it done there? How do I accomplish this? Thanks!

When you have the Library Module open, on the side is the area where MetaData is shown. Way down at the bottom is a field "Copyright". Put your name (Or whatever you want it to say) in there. (A better way is to make a MetaData preset with that field included and apply the preset to all photos when you import them. That's a bit more complicated. You can look it up in the help menu). When you choose "Export" to save your photos as as a jpg for the web a dialog box opens and there's a section for MetaData and it has checkbox called "Add Copyright Watermark". Check the box on and export your photos and they will have your name (Or whatever you put in the "Copyright" Metadata field) on them.

Thank You!!! I followed your directions however the watermark is not showing up. Does the pic need to be posted directly to the internet for the watermark to show up?
