![]() ![]() STEP SEVEN: APPLYING YOUR NEW COPYRIGHT PRESET: There are two ways (OK, probably more) to apply these presets, but my favorite is to embed this copyright data into your images right during the Import process. STEP SIX: If you don’t have any old 2021 images you haven’t yet imported into Lightroom, you can choose to delete last year’s preset if you want (you won’t be using it again if you’ve already imported all your images from last year), so if you want to delete it (totally up to you - you don’t have to – you can keep multiple year’s templates, no sweat), first choose the 2021 Preset from the pop-up menu then go to the same pop-up menu again but this time choose Delete Preset “Scott’s Copyright 2021 ” (or whatever you named it), then click the Done button. STEP FIVE: This brings up a small dialog where you can enter the name for your New Preset (as seen above). ![]() STEP FOUR: Once you’ve updated the date, it’s time to save your new preset by going to the Preset pop-up menu at the top of the window and choosing “Save Current Settings as New Preset” as shown above. If you’re creating your first Copyright template, just go ahead and type in 2022 and your name in the Copyright field, and then under Copyright Status choose “Copyrighted” from the pop-up menu. STEP THREE: Go to the IPTC Copyright section, and click on the field to the right of Copyright (as shown here), then just type in 2022 right over where it previously said 2021. ![]() In my case, I’m editing last year’s Copyright preset, but if you don’t already have one, just start typing your info in the IPTC Copyright and IPTC Creator sections, as I have above. STEP TWO: When the Edit Metadata Presets window appears (shown above), choose the name of the preset you want to Edit, and it displays your copyright template info (as seen). STEP ONE: Go to the Library Module go under the Metadata menu up top and choose “Edit Metadata Presets” as shown here (by the way - if you don’t already have an existing Copyright template in place, you can use this same menu to create one from scratch, so either way you would choose this Edit Metadata Presets to get started). It’s really simple, but not super obvious, so here we go: If like me, you like to embed your copyright and contact info directly into your images (handy in case you share images on Instagram, FB, Twitter, etc.), then it’s time to update your Lightroom Classic copyright info template for 2022 for the new images you take and import this year. Hi, everybody – it sure is good to be back – really enjoyed my Holiday Break, but now it’s a new year, full of new opportunities and possibilities, and so let’s get right to it. ![]()
