Hey Joe, Don’t lose your cool! 🙂

These instructions are for updating a metadata template, but you’re looking for watermark instructions to go along with adding information to the photo’s metadata. So, take a deep breath, and head over here: https://lightroomkillertips.com/add-watermark-lightroom-classic/

I have a photo that I wish to add metadata AND add a copyright symbol in a lower corner. Nothing on the above instructions works.

Sometimes I publish older photos and I would prefer that it pulled up the copyright year from the image instead of using the current year. Otherwise I have to edit the Publish collection settings to select an older watermark.

Then the year used should be the year of “First Published” for the work.

Unpublished works: © Creator’s Name
Published works: © YYYY Creator’s Name

That being the case it creates a situation where your Copyright data-entry templates do not need to be updated annually.

Have the Napp Legal Advice Guys (Ed Greenberg) ever commented on this?
