Text in Lightroom 4

Is it possible to add text to a photo in Lightroom 4?

There is a watermark capability. You enable it in the Export Dialog box.
There is also a plug-in called Mogrify that allows certain metadata to be added to a photo (I don't know if it works with LR4).

Insert text using Lightroom 5

How to insert text using Lightroom 5 (not in slide mode or using watermark)?

If you mean superimposing text on your photo, you can't do that in Lightroom. There is no "insert text" feature (other than watermark or slides). There is a plug-in called Mogrify that allows you to superimpose text on your photos during export.

I cannot read screen text in Lightroom 5. It is too small.

I just installed Lightroom 5.3 on my 27" iMac [14,2 OSX 10.9.1] My eyes are usually about 32" from the screen.
Upon installation, I attempted with and without my glasses. I can't read the screen.
I increased the font size. There are only two options, small and large. Large is about 1 point larger. Thanks a bunch.
My vision isn't bad. I don't have trouble taking photos with my dozen-or-so cameras. I don't have trouble using any software. I spend hours every day in front of this computer and have no trouble at all using anything. Until now.
I have been using Adobe products for over 20 years. This is a first for the industry leader in text & print related software.
Is there another option for making the text readable? Accessability Options on the Mac turns out to be no help. Its for BLIND PEOPLE, which I am not. If my whole computer had no functionality because I could not see, Accessability Options might help. But then I wouldn't have bought a 27" iMac for photo editing if I couldn't see. Anyway, I shouldn't have to sacrifice any functionality on my machine to accomodate an Adobe product. I pay Adobe for functionality. I don't owe Adobe any favors.
I searched user forums. This issue has been brought up before. There were no answers. Is there no way to resolve the unreadability issue? Are your developers 15 year olds with 640x480 monitors? Maybe adults should look at the screen before you release this stuff?
Kind of angry.

Is there a way to use EXIF information from images in Muse?

I use Lightroom to manage my images. In Lightroom, I enter Caption metadata. (In the Lightroom Library, I enter data in the Caption field of the Metadata section.) Now I'd like use that Caption data to create an ALT tag in Muse. Is there any way to do that, short of copying the text from Lightroom and pasting it into Muse?
Here's why that wouldn't work for me. I have hundreds of images on my site. When I export images from Lightroom for my Muse site, I rename them. The names are generated by LR, so they're not consistent each time I generate them. Over in muse, that means I have to re-enter ALT tags every time I generate a new version of my slide show -- even if the images are the same. So what I'm looking for is a way to have Muse take the Caption data from each image's EXIF Metadata and use it to generate the ALT tag.
Can anybody think of a way to do this?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately there is no way to do that current stage , you would need to add the tags manually.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?

Q - My images have a
? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
A - The
? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
Click the
? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
On the Mac you should
Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
Browse for Folder and the
Choose button is replaced by
OK.
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.
A tutorial demonstrating above can be found

Photo- Edit in option to edit in a third party app. is not working

In the Develop module, when I go to the Menu Option Photo -> Edit in, normally LR2 created a TIFF file and uploaded it in the third party application for further editing. However, since yesterday, I am getting an error window with the following text. Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Media Disk/Pictures/2008/2008-11-09-Gstaad/Switzerland_7682.CR2 for editing. It will not be opened. I do not recollect changing any parameters.
Can someone help me sort this out.
Thanks

It appears LR is not getting access to the Drive/Folder where the original file is located. (/volumes/Media Disk/Pictures....)? were the original files copied to a hard drive?

I'm in Lightroom 4 and trying to type text into individual slides and the text box does not let me

In help Lightroom 4 tells me to go custom text pop-up in the slideshow module and choose a metadata option. All I want to do is add some text to some of the slides in my slide show. Since text and or caption options are not avaliabe I tried using the title option which brought up a text box that I could place on the screen but NOT type into, why not? what am I missing here? Also after editing the 490 photos I want to put them onto a DVD as an OTHG 2011 file to give to my backpacking group but Lightfoom does not explain how to create these DVDs. Thanks for your help. Hart

When you set that popup to 'Title', say, the slides will get a label that is filled in from the 'title' metadata, which you set for each photo in the Library Module.
Try it.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

Adobe photoshop lightroom 4.pkg trying to open with text edit -- how do i open as application?

downloaded trial for mac, all requirements are met, but cannot get download to open as an application, mac is trying to open with text edit; downloaded several times, every time the disk utility opens

The .dmg was opening with Disk Utility, where it would verify and then mount the "Lightroom 4.0" disc image on my desktop. Clicking on this opened the folder, which contained the .pkg file, but it wouldn't work (opening with TextEditor). I changed the .dmg file to open with DiskImageMounter and thought I would have to manually change the .pkg file as well, but once the .dmg file opened with DiskImageMounter, the Lightroom 4 file opened with it as well and I got the installation screen right away. Installation from that point on went as usual. It was a very frustrating experience, but now I know where to look when a file won't install. But as for your question, they both opened with DiskImageMounter.

Lightroom wants to me to install 5.6, but the download link takes me to a page with plain text bullet points, none of which are the update link. Can anyone give a direct lnik?

Google "lightroom 5.6" and direct links to both Mac and Windows will be at the top.

Lightroom 4, Book Module, Importing text

I want to create a poetry and photo book in Lightroom 4 and send to Blurb. How do I import text not as a caption but as a whole page? Thanks. Tim

You'll need to choose a page type that allows for text. This can be done via teh drop-down menu in bottom right corner of content are or via the Page panel (see screens hot below), then copy paste text into text space as John has suggested. Note that there are numerous page types, some text with image, others text or image only.

How can I hide the "Add Page Text" button in Lightroom 5 Book Module

In Lightroom 5's Book Module, there is an "Add page text" button that appears when you are in either two-page or single-page view.
More often than not, it sits right on top of my photo caption text causing that text to be unreadable.
Is there an option to hide that button?

If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
rd.forward(request, response);

Adding text to a jaypeg in Lightroom 5

Migrated from Corel Photopaint and low on Lightroom learning curve. I can easily add text to a jaypeg in Photopaint but I can't figure out the "overlay" function in LR5 and that I reckon is the way to do it. I want to add labels to a jaypeg of a flower bed so as to be able to remember the names of the new plantings. How can I overlay text boxes on my jaypeg using LR5?

You can enter text in the Caption metadata field, which will allow you (and Lightroom) to remember the name of the flower, and allows you (and Lightroom) to search for the flower name later.
This does not overlay text on the photo, which cannot be done in Lightroom except at export.
You can have text superimposed on the photo when it is exported using the watermark feature, or using the Mogrify plugin

Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

The text options are very limited.
Besides the watermark option mentioned already by dj_paige you can
- add text in the Slide Show Module. Click on the letters "ABC" below the image and then select your text options from the drop-down menu. See screen shot.
Besides "Custom Text" as shown you can select any of the other options from the drop-down menu. You are not limited to one choice - you can (one after the other) select any combination from
the drop down menu. You can drag the text boz anywhere you want it to be and you can resize it and adjust the opacity.
When you are done you can export the iamge as PDF - Export as PDF works also with only one image, so it doesn't have to be a "slide show" with several images.
2) In the Print Module the text options are more limited but you can add text in the "Phot Info" panel. Unfortunately you can't move the text around and can't change the size of the text box.
As in the Slide Show Module you can save the image from the Print Module by selecting "Print to File" which creates a JPG.

I am having trouble typing text in the book module in Lightroom 4.3

Hi, I am trying to create a book in the "book module" in Lightroom 4.3. Putting pictures in the picture containers doesn't seem to be a problem, but when I try to type in text into the text containers it will not let me. I click onto an empty text container, it highlights, then I cannot get a cursor to appear and it will not let me type in text. I have watched several videos now on making books in the book module and all they do is click on the text container and start typing, it looks like it should be easy. Please help, thanks
