STICKY:  Lightroom Threads

What LR? The HDR merge in LR 6/CC2015 can work very well and blending Raws will give you the best expansion of Dynamic Range because Raws just naturally have greater range than the 8 bit images you have to use in PSE (properly exposed Raw = 11 stops, 8 bit tiffs -5 to 6 stops)

How do I add text to video in LR?

And also, a watermark on photos, I have tried all videos on youtube, not one of them does a good job

Lightroom does not edit video. The only way you are going to be able to add text with Lightroom would be to export the video to another program.

Lightroom allows you to make text based watermarks on photos. If you want a graphic based watermark, you will need to create it with another program. For most watermarks you will want to make them as a .png or .gif with a transparent background. Then use that image as your watermark rather than the text you can create in Lightroom. After you make the image, then you go into the settings of your export or publish function to make the watermark. Instead of typing in some text, you choose the image and us it to make the watermark.

I use Faststone Photo Resizer to quickly watermark my images using png files

You can't

Watermarks are applied to photos as part of the export process. This video was done for LR3 but I don't think the system has changed much if any since then - http://tv.adobe.com …om-watermarks-for-photos/

Can someone tell me where I can purchase lightroom 5.7 ? My older computer doesn't play well with lightroom 6.

Have you tried to download the 5.7.1 update? I don't know if you would have a way to license it, but i don't know how to test that except to try to download it and go from there.

If youre still looking for it, I actually still have the file..

Are there any instagram export plugins available for LR6

I don't know of any way to "export" to Instagram. Posting has to be done from the Instagram app on your phone. You can't even post via the web version.

Work around include exporting from Lightroom to Dropbox on your PC and then using the Instagram app on your phone to get that file from Dropbox.

I know you can post via phone, but a photographer I know, does post his photos by some other means

Probably through Bluestacks software for pc's. It allows you to run android apps on your pc including instgram..so you can upload straight from your pc..

Thanks, will look at that

Forgot about Bluestacks. I tried that some time back but it was really slow and unstable. Let us know how you get on. It may have improved.

push.photo works for me.
