Logo and Text Watermark in Lightroom Classic (Same Export)
Photographers have been asking Adobe for years for a way to create a logo & text watermark in Lightroom Classic during the same export. Lightroom’s built-in watermark editor allows either text or a graphic logo but combining both together consistently—especially across mixed landscape and portrait images—has never been straightforward.
Many photographers end up exporting their photos first and then adding branding in another program, which slows down the workflow.
This guide shows a simpler approach: how to apply a logo & text watermark in Lightroom Classic during a single export pass, with consistent placement and preview-to-export parity so the result matches what you see before exporting.
Can Lightroom Classic Add a Logo & Text Watermark at the Same Time?
YES! You can add a logo and text watermark in Lightroom Classic in the same export by using a workflow that combines both elements and applies them during export. This avoids exporting first and doing a second pass in another app. Watch the demo video below.
Logo & Text Watermark in Lightroom Classic (Same Export)
Lightroom’s built-in watermark tool allows either text or a graphic logo, but it cannot combine both in a single watermark. Many photographers end up exporting their images first and then running a second step in Photoshop or another application just to add branding.
BrandStamp Pro solves this by applying both elements during the Lightroom export process, so your branding happens in a single pass.
How the Logo & Text Workflow Works
- Open the Lightroom Export dialog
- Choose the images you want to export and open the Export panel.
- Enable BrandStamp Pro branding
- Turn on logo and text branding inside the BrandStamp Pro panel.
- Position your logo and text
- Use the placement controls and live preview to position branding exactly where you want it.
- Adjust size, color, and placement
- Fine-tune the appearance of your text or logo while seeing the changes instantly in the preview.
- Export your images
- Lightroom exports the images normally while BrandStamp Pro applies the logo and text branding automatically.
Because the preview and export share the same placement logic, the final images match the preview you see before export.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Lightroom Classic add a logo and text watermark at the same time?
Lightroom’s built-in watermark editor is designed to output either a text watermark or a graphic logo. If you want both together, you normally have to export first and add branding in another application. The workflow shown here allows photographers to apply a logo and text watermark in Lightroom Classic during a single export pass.
Do I need Photoshop to add a logo and text watermark?
No. The goal of this workflow is to avoid exporting images and then running a second branding step in Photoshop or another program.
Will this work with both landscape and portrait photos?
Yes. The workflow is designed to keep logo and text placement consistent across mixed image orientations so branding stays predictable.
Does branding change my original photos in Lightroom?
No. Branding is applied only to exported copies. Your original images and Lightroom catalog edits remain unchanged.
