Does any one know how to increase the font size in Lightroom. I can paste the copywright info, but it's so small I can barely see it.

I teach my students to never use a photo in a PowerPoint without labeling the site the photo came from, or who the photographer is. Since I use as many of my own photos as possible in my own ppts, I want to have them labeled. And I put a large number of photos on a smugmug site for them to study by. It's easy to do a large batch in Lightroom but I hate the size. I like the sizes and fonts in Photoshop, but I don't know how to save and label a large number of "OK" photos for email or web in Photoshop.

Any directions you can lead me in would be appreciated.

I'm not sure about LR but in PS you could create an action and choose font and size. If I remember correctly then changing DPI has an influence on the font size.

You can use LR2/Mogrify which is a 'donationware' plugin. It is pretty customisable to allow placement, size, font, etc. to be added during export to the images. Works pretty well but has a little bug that sometimes needs you to redo the export, but doesn't cause any loss of info.

I think LR3 will have more options for creating customisable text to images during export?

Thanks Brent, I will have to try that.
