Can you customize logo placement in Lightroom?

Using Lightroom 5.5, is there a way to custom place a logo/watermark? I'm not referring to the preset placements and the vertical/horizontal sliders. Sometimes those controls just don't cut it for strategic placement.

Do a search for a plugin called LR2/Mogrify. This should allow you to do as you wish.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just installed the plug-in and while it does remove the limitations of horizontal and vertical offsets allowed by Lightroom, it really isn't practical to have to manually enter the offset in terms of pixels without being able to visualize the result in real time. I could see myself spending 5-10mins per photo trying to precisely place a logo via this trial and error method.

I'm really looking for something that would either allow me to drag/drop the logo, or at the very least be able to use sliders to change the position with a real time visual representation.

Do you have photoshop?

If you do, you could set up an action which would allow you to place your logo where you want it.

Make this into a droplet and then call the droplet as part of your LR post processing export routine.

I don't think I explained well enough what I'm wanting to do. I'm trying to solve 2 problems; not being able to place the watermark in a desired position, and not being able to easily change the position when exporting individual images.

Which is why I was asking whether you have PS.

Regardless, even with the method you suggested, would this allow me to change the exact positioning of the watermark on a per-image basis?

((sigh))

Per image basis? Why not just copy and paste in the logo as a layer at that point?

To the OP, you have Photoshop CC, the best suggestion from my view is to adopt one of the tried-and-true Photoshop Actions to do this (check out "Russel Brown" actions) rather than trying something with Lightroom, but that's just my suggestion!!

I apologize that this question seems to have irritated a select individual.

Seeing that everyone keeps suggesting a a method that involves adding Photoshop into the workflow, I assume the answer to my question is no.

Presumably I'm that "select individual."

To be able to preview or modify the placement of a watermark or any other graphic you need an application that supports layers; obviously that's not possible in Lightroom. That why you cannot see the final result until the file is rendered/exported.

Adobe Watermark Panel by Dr. Russell Brown allows previewing watermarks and anything else required but obviously only works in Photoshop.

I beg to differ.
Export > Watermarking > Edit Watermark, which allows you to preview the image with watermark overlay, move the watermark around (albeit with constraints), change the size, and change the opacity...all before exporting the image. Obviously these changes can be either saved as a new preset for subsequent exports, or used to update the current preset.

So again, my issue is not the ability to customize the logo, but rather the limited extent to which it can be done. More specifically, the limited translation on the X and Y axis.

Since you know so much about Lightroom's architecture why not learn Lua and write a better watermarking plug-in?
