Use filename as watermark in Lightroom 5

Is it possible to watermark my images with their filenames in Lightroom 5?

There is a way but it is not automated.
You can edit a new watermark and apply it.
As for an automated solution there may be a plug-in that can do this but personally I am not aware of one.

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

I am using a trial version of Lightroom - not able to access my CC files that are already were moved into Llibrary

Just recently my Creative Cloud files are not showing up in either the Library or Develop tab when I have already previously moved them over. The arrow on the navigator tabs that is beside Creative Cloud is not solid as where it was before I started having these issues.

What creative cloud files are you referring to? Are you using a trial version of Lightroom from the creative cloud or from the standalone installation? Have you canceled a creative cloud subscription? Your question seems unclear to me.

Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

I have a leica m9, aperture metadata will not show me the lens aperture used, as it does in lightroom 3, any ideas.

This has been an ongoing issue with this camera for a long time. Search the list here or Google the issue to see the many posts on this.
For whatever reason Aperture is unable to report that data. Some have written that it is because the that particular lens/camera combination does not report the f stop information.
You can always send feedback to Apple see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Hi to all, I use Windows 7, 64Bit and Lightroom 5.7, Camera Raw 8.7, when I develop or export files (mostly Raw Fils from Nikon D810) after 10 to 20 pictures my computer shuts down or I get a bluescreen. Please tell me why.

Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
Make sure your video driver is up to date.
If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly.

Resolution Change When I am Using "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment"

Hi Guys,
I am using the latest version of lightroom and I have been trying to fix the error that lightroom made.
1. I open most of my photos (resolution 300dpi) on lightroom to do some adjustment
2. I am using "Edit with photoshop CS3" to continuemy editing
okay this the problem!
I just realized that every time, I open the photos on photoshop the resolution change became 240.
I am really not sure which part of lightroom that I need to change :( because I just want to keep the original resolution when I bring it to photoshop.
Thanks

Bear in mind that there is no meaningful resolution number in an image file coming from a camera. The only truly "correct" resolution would be the number of pixels per inch on the sensor array, but that would be several thousand ppi, and your image size in inches or cm would appear to be very small -- i.e., the size of the sensor. Any other number put in there by the camera, by ACR, or by LR is merely a placeholder. Both LR and ACR set this to 240 ppi by default, which gives a typical camera image dimensions bearing some reasonable relationship to a potential print size.

Can you use CS6 serial number for Lightroom 4?

Hi everyone,
I used to have CS6 and Lightroom downloaded on my computer but it fried and I had to replace it. On my new laptop, I tried downloading Lightroom and using my old serial number, but it didn't work. I was wondering if maybe it was Lightroom 4, and Adobe had released Lightroom 5 during the time when I didnt' have a computer. Can I use my CS6 serial if I download Lightroom 4?
Thank you!

Can I use my CS6 serial if I download Lightroom 4?
No. The CS6 serial number is very specific: it only works for the product and operating system that it was purchased it for.
If you had, for example, Photoshop CS6 for Windows, that CS6 serial number would not even work on a Mac.
You'll need to locate your Lightroom 4 serial number.

When using the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, the changes made are applied to the whole image.

Hi, I'm just trying to learn to use the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, and I've watched several videos, but when I place the gradient on the photo (I've tried several different photos) and make adjustments, the entire image changes. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
Thanks!
Michele

My sincere thanks to those trying to help me. I've found the problem and feel extraordinarily stupid. In looking at screenshots in a tutorial, I realized the box that pops up for the controls for the graduated filter was collapsed on my screen. Once I clicked the arrow and got the proper controls, it works like it should. It's been a while since I felt this dumb!! But I guess that's why they call it the Beginner's forum, eh?
Thanks again!

Please read this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
You do not want to be in the Import section of Lightroom, you want to be in the Library Module. You don't want "Update Folder Location", you want to ctrl-click on a Folder name (not in Import, but in the Library Module Folder Panel) and select "Find Missing Folder"
You do not want to re-import photos that have already been imported, this is almost always a bad thing to do.

I use a desktop version of Lightroom and am wanting to move to the Cloud version. What happens to my files, etc., on my desktop when I download the cloud version? I don't want to lose my metadata, etc. If anyone out there knows, please let me know.

I just installed LR CC and am having trouble opening catalogs where I followed the instructions to upgrade. Just posted a question about it.
Discovered a problem when I went looking for some images that were not included in the most recent catalog. After opening up a couple of older ones and upgrading, I went back to the most recent and couldn't opening. Message says it is not writable. And also says it may be due to incorrect permissions. If you have any suggestions for this, I would love to hear them.

Maintain RAW filename when renaming in Lightroom

When renaming files in Lightroom 1.2 when you are exporting files how do you keep the original RAW filename in Metadata? I cut DVDs of my files after they are downloaded and want to be able to tell what the original filename was before it was renamed in the event I'd have to go back to the Raw file.
I want to use name and a sequence number for the new filename [EX: rb-101, rb-102, etc. where rb is the clients initials followed by a sequence starting at 101]
The reason I want to rename in Lightroom is to keep the files in the order I manually place them since my cameras don't always sync capture time exactly. If I just export them without renaming, then I have to start over in Bridge to sort them again before renumbering in CS2.

Rob, Clicking F2 in Lightroom invokes the Filename Template Editor. One of the options is "Original Filename". That can be invoked at anytime so that should sort your query out. However, personally, I always like to have the original 4 number sequence tagged to every photo no matter what format the photo is. So, original camera filename of 73XX1234 becomes: "CLIENTNAME assignment 1234" Every version of the photograph will have this same name so can be searched inside or outside of Lightroom by a dozen different variables without even needing the Metadata. To set this up go to the Import dialogue and in the File naming Template area, click on Edit. My default setting is: <Custom Text> <Filename suffix> Click OK and then enter the text you want at the front of the filename. You can change the name at any stage by selecting pictures in the Library, clicking F2 (or Menu>Library>Rename) to invoke the Filename Template Editor and proceed as above. Cheers, Adrian

I use a Mac, new to lightroom, I purchased the software, and now I cannot get into my develop module because it is telling me that I need to renew my membership ? Lost !!! lost in a dark cold cave of lightroom someone please help me !!

I cannot get into my develop module on lightroom, it is telling me to "please renew my membershipto reactivate the develop module" I do not understand. I bought the software must I pay a membership as well ? Also I do not want to use lightroom mobile and it is trying to sync my photos. I use a MAC

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
