Watermarking
After all this dry info regarding sizes, ppi, and metadata, we can finally play around with something more visual.

Watermarking offers us three ways to approach watermarking our photographs:
- Simple Copyright Watermark
- Text Watermark
- Graphic Watermark
The first and quickest way to use the Watermarking feature is Simple Copyright Watermark. There are no settings associated with this option. It will place the watermark only if we have copyright information populated in the picture's metadata. Whatever we have in the Copyright field will be placed as a watermark in the bottom-left corner of the exported photograph using default settings. If copyright information is too long, Lightroom will cut it short.
