Lightroom 3 has a real time saving tool to watermark your photos with a logo overlay.
- The first step is to create your logo in photoshop. We are going to need a transparent background so keep that in mind. I am going to make a simple text logo for this example. Make your logo about 1000px wide. I made mine in white but you can make it any color you want. Add a drop shadow to make it show in the light areas of your image.
- Drag background layer into the trash so you see your logo against a transparent background.
- Now use the Trim tool to make a perfectly tight crop around the logo!
- Now use “Save for Web andDevice” and select PNG-24, click Transparency and save.
- Now we move to Lightroom 3 to export a photo. Select a photo and Export. In the Export menu select Watermark…..Edit Watermarks.
- That will bring up the Edit Watermarks menu. From this menu we will choose out PNG-24 logo. Close the text options and work out the details in the Watermarks Effects Menu. Once you have made a look you like you can save the preset.
