Text & Graphic from Print Module

I bought Lightroom to help grow my Events business, we print on the night, we have an Awards night to shoot soon.
We would like to have a graphic (Logo) and Text naming the type of Award.
Would somebody please help and explain how to achieve this.
As I understand how the Print Module works, It's one or the other. I know that I could use the Watermark function to add the text, but this would be OVER the image.
Is there a way to design the template then import to LR? I cannot see a way in PS!
Any help or advice would be great .
Thanks.

I could see that being useful too.  As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?  If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.  If you search there, you may even find similar requests that you might like to add your vote to.

  • Multiple text fields in Print Module

    Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

    I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

  • More text options in Print Module

    It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite.  I'd like more text options for the printing module.  For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print.  The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
    I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

    I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion.  I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
    The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image.  For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc..   I also make folios (ala Lenswork).  Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template.  Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom.   It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features.  I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and  apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
    I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
    1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
    2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
    I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc).  I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
    I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning.  I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.)  This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
    Adobe, please finish the Print Module.  I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
    (..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

  • Help me format text overlay in print module

    I would like to print my photos with Caption field on one line and Date field on the next line. I would also like to change the font to something else. This is easily done in the slideshow module, just make two text overlays, position them where desired, pick a font and all done. Is it possible to do in the print module though? It seems as though only one overlay can be done. This is fine if I can force a line break, but I cannot seem to figure that out. Ctrl-Enter fails to work as does putting in the html code for a line break. I also cannot figure out if it's possible to change the font of the text overlay in the print module. Is what I wish to do possible? If so, how do I accomplish it? Many thanks!
    Bonus points if it's possible to right justify and to bold the Caption field but leave the Date field in regular typeface.
    I've also attempted this with the Identity Plate; it has all the formatting options I need, but it does not appear as though metadata can be displayed there, am I wrong?

    Hopefully this will be improved drastically in the final release of version 2. In an earlier thread, I asked about printing that used to work in Lr 1.2 and stopped working in Lr 1.3. An Adobe engineer replied it was a known bug. I am also a pro photographer and love Lightroom. jc

  • Better captioning and text handling in print module

    I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I would like to see a bit more sophisticated text handling for captioning in the Print module.  It sure would be nice to be able to choose a font, position the text, choose a color, add a drop shadow, etc.  Nothing too crazy, but photo captions are a pretty important part of some photographers' workflow, and as of now I have to move between PS and LR to get any kind of nice text on the page, which interrupts the LR workflow.  I'd love to do almost all my work in LR and only use PS for the real heavy pixel lifting.
    Thanks for a great product!

  • Text fields in Print Module

    I was really hoping to see the ability to add text fields in the Print module.  In my work, I frequently need to add captions or titles to the prints.  At the moment, I have to round trip to Photoshop to make this happen.  I also make folios (see Brooks Jensen) where that require such captions.  Thanks.

  • How to call a text editor from a module pool program

    Hi All,
    I want to call the text editor from my modulepool program. Enter my text in it and save it.This text needs to be saved in a Z-program with 2 fields as primary keys. The next time while I call this same record from this z table, I need to fetch the existing text and display it.
    The user now can put in additional text and can again save it. This process thus goes on..
    If anyone has worked in this type of scenario, then please help me in doing this.
    Useful answers will surely be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    Susanth.

    Hi Sushanth,
    We save the text not as fields in a ztable directly but as a text.Please check the format below since it is based on a working code....
    first you need to create a text in s010 transaction...
    there should be some key based on which you plan to save the text..imagine it is Purchase order then..PO+item numner is always unique.eg:0090010(900PO/item10).so in the code you can append these two and they will be unique..so you can always retrieve them,overwrite,save them anytime you need
    **************data declarations
    TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_EDITOR,
    EDIT(254) TYPE C,
    END OF TY_EDITOR.
    data: int_line type table of tline with header line.
    data: gw_thead like thead.
    data: int_table type standard table of ty_editor.
    ****************fill header..from SO10 t-code..when you save you need the unique key..youfill it here and pass it in save_text function module
    GW_THEAD-TDNAME = loc_nam. " unique key for the text -> our unique key to identify the text
    GW_THEAD-TDID = 'ST'. " Text ID from SO10
    GW_THEAD-TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU. "current language
    GW_THEAD-TDOBJECT = 'ZXXX'. "name of the text object created in SO10
    *To Read from Container and get data to int_table
    CALL METHOD EDITOR ->GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

  • More Creative Layout from Print Module?

    Hello,
    I am using LR 3.2 and am wondering if it is possible to make more creative layouts inside the print module?
    I would like to have a backgorund, maybe some drop shadows and also be able to rotate images by a few degrees like 15 degrees.
    This seems impossible with what I have tried so far.
    Is there a plugin or something of the like?  Or maybe a good workflow with other CS applications?
    I am trying to preserve the RAW images and do as much in LR as possible but it sounds like maybe InDesign might be the best for this?
    This is for a large photo volume application, not just a one off design.
    Thanks for your input

    Lr certainly doesn't have the ability and I'm not aware of any plug-ins that allow the type of layout you describe. You might wish to submit a feature request though http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom/lightroom_feature_requests?view=discussions In the meantime, InDesign is probably your best option.

  • How to add text in print module in LR4?

    want to add text twice in print module, seems only option is identity plate and it cant be duplicated, any suggestions?

    yea i hear ya, but like i made a custom photo strip and another one right next to it so there are two vertical photo strips that after being printed will be cut down the middle.  i want to have text (or identity tag) at the bottom of each photo strip (again, will be printing two on one page).  Best thing i have come up with so far is dinking around with text in word (duplicate text so it would show up twice) but its kinda an issue with spacing and everything.  Sucks you cant just add a box anywhere on there and input what you want (unless there is a way and just cant figure it out).  Again, in "custom package"

  • Text graphics are not clean in Encore playback

    I have a project that is all text graphic from a PowerPoint and no matter how I put them into Encore, they don't play back clean. I have made PNG, PSD, JPG and I even redid all the text in Premier Pro. All the same results. I have done this many times before but now nothing seems to work. Looking for answers. 

    Where can I look for that?

  • Print Module - Text from metadata

    Is there any way to lay out the text under the image in a more useful way? (Same for text under web gallery images). I can set what text/metadata is displayed, but there seems to be absolutely no control over where that text is shown.
    Right now, using the Fine Art Mat as an example, whatever is printed seems to butt right up against the bottom edge of the image, normally one would choose it to be in the middle of the white border. I can see no way to even add line breaks which would be really useful to allow data on different lines.
    Of course, as with many LR features, there may well be a little dropdown arrow somewhere than I have missed - I hope so because, as it is, this feature is not much use.

    Consider this a feature request then.
    The text under the web images is usable, there seems to be a reasonable space between the image and the text.
    The text under the print template is not OK, there is no space and the result looks very amateurish to say the least.
    Even just line breaks would mostly solve the problem.

  • Print module text

    It would be really handy to make the "Photo info" in the print module, Placeable so that we can print classic portfolios in sequence. In otherwords I want to set up a Fine art matt template with my name/copyright info on one side and have LR place the Image title (from the photo info) on the otherside. So I can print a series of images as I would matt them.

  • HP PhotoSmart C309g Printer no longer prints Black Text, Graphics, etc

    Hi:
    We have an HP laptop.
    We have an HP PhotoSmart All-In-One C309g Wireless printer/scanner/copier.
    It has been working fine for a couple of years, until 2 days ago.
    It will no longer print anything in black (colors and Photo Black work fine).
    We have taken it apart...removed all ink cartridges, removed the cartridge caddy,
    cleaned all electrodes,  replaced the caddy, installed 5 (all) new cartridges,, etc.
    We went through the process of removing the cartridges, caddy, shutting down,
    removing the AC cord, waiting for several minutes, then doing the reverse process.
    When we turn the printer on, it does its auto-check/install, and after about 4-5 minutes
    tells us that the installation failed, the to press the OK  button.
    We went thorugh this process several times, and the installation failed every time.
    In the past, installing printer cartridges, cleaning, calibrating...executed quickly.
    The printer will not print anything that is Black, whether it me a print from Word, Notepad,
    doing a direct copy from the glass, etc....both, with the laptop On or Off, but it will not
    print anything in standard Black.
    The colors and Photo Black print fine, but the regular Black does not.
    The output from the other 4 cartridges are sharp, crisp, etc.
    Anything... text, graphics, etc.,  in standard Black does not print.
    Any ideas.
    Thank you

  • Upgrade EPSON driver (C2800): text no longer prints from preview

    Hi,
    After installing the new EPSON driver under Lion, I can no longer print PDF's from Preview correctly.
    When I print a file, only the graphics are printed, the text is not present.
    I have tried printing several different documents, I have reinstalled the printer two times, but the problems remains.
    The printer (Epson AL-C2800) is connected via its network port, to a Time Capsule.
    When I print from my Windows 7 desktop, all is fine, so I assume the problem is situated on my MacBook Pro.
    Has anybody an idea how to resolve this issue? It is very annoying, because I use my MBP most of the time.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback,
    David

  • A way to undo Formatted Text & Graphics OCR from Acrobat 7?

    Over the course of a few months, my company received a large number of PDF files for a project for which the internal policy was that every file should be text searchable.  Unfortunately, we did not save the native files in any sort of convenient way, having at that time not realized that failing to do so was a very bad idea.  We ran OCR on every one of the files that we received, which total approximately 4,000.  At the time that we received the majority of these files, my company was still using Acrobat 7; we've since upgraded to version 8.
    Recently we discovered that there were discrepancies between our electronic copies and the hard copy printouts from which our electronic copies had been generated:  in the electronic copies, uppercase F had changed to P, S had changed to 8, etc.  We eventually worked out that it must have been that at some point a computer was mistakenly set to run OCR using the Formatted Text & Graphics setting, as opposed to either Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact).  This was absolutely not want we wanted, as for our purposes using a type of OCR that causes the original images to change essentially renders the files useless.  My questions, then, are the following:
    1)  As I asked in the title, is there any way of undoing Formatted Text & Graphics OCR that was performed in Acrobat 7?
    2)  Is there a way of identifying files that have had Formatted Tex & Graphics OCR performed on them (something stored in the metadata)?
    Rebuilding these files from scratch is going to require a gargantuan effort, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Bernd's been across the mountain and seen the bear; so, you can bank on what he posted.
    But, just because, I'll second his "no".
    Formatted Text and Graphics (Acrobat 7, 8) and ClearScan (Acrobat 9, X) effectively replace the image of textual characters.
    If a character is not recognized as 'something' a bit map is of the thing is left behind.
    Now, while Acrobat or other OCR engines (Abbey FineReader, AdLib, Adobe Capture, etc.) are really rather impressive no OCR engine has 100% accuracy 100% of the time. Other variables  come into play (scan lamp age/brightness, platen cleanliness, scanner mechanicals cleanliness, calibration of scanner, hard copy 'quality' (characters' darkness density, contrast between characters and background, presence of lack thereof of boxed in text, text in or adjacent to line arcs/circles, etc.).
    All of that is for semantic content that is "textual". Semantic content that is not textual (but, coincidently may contain text) provides little to no useful OCR output (e.g., graphs, drawings, etc.). Validate this by performing OCR on such a PDF then Export to a plain text file. Print this file out and compare that to the source paper or the scanned image.
    There is no metadata info that identifies the OCR mode used.
    Perhaps something buried in the bowls of PDF page description content; if so, not intrinsically easy to obtain.
    My suggestion (fwiw) - move forward with re-scan.
    A server product would help to move it along but a high speed scanner hooked to a local machine (with ample resources) and Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 get it done. With Acrobat 8 or 9 use Search Image (Exact).  In Preferences check the category Create PDF or TIFF to assure it is what you desire. Check Acrobat's scan presets to assure you have what you want vis-a-vis Compression and Filtering. Do avoid "Automatic".
    Be well...
