If you choose Lightroom over Photoshop then one of the first things you realize is it does not offer layers like PS does. I have LR3 and PSE 10, and I decided to play with my LR to see if I can find a loop hole. I am pleased to say I have found a way to get around that. I can not get the video to upload so until then I am going to just post the steps.
Before & After
1. Choose the image you want to add the texture/overlay to and open it into LR
2. Right click the image and click "Export"
3. Once the window pops up for the export click in the small box for the watermark.
There will be another drop down box beside the "Watermark:", click on that and click on "Edit Watermarks" at the bottom.
4. Go to the right of the screen and click on Image Options and select Choose. It will pull up your folders so select the image you wish to overlay.
** To change the opacity go to "Watermark Effects" **

Please comment with feedback if you have used my how tos :) Let me know if they worked for you or if you had some trouble.
So you made the overlay in PSE and uploaded it as a watermark in LR? Im confused haha.
ReplyDeleteI found a few free textures online, and downloaded them. Then I used it as a watermark in lightroom. Stretched it so it was big enough to cover my image and adjusted the opacity level. If you want your actual watermark on them you can import the final image and to export it with your logo. :)
