I am new to using lightroom. I used to use photoshop but no longer have.
My question is can you add text to an image in light room like you can in PS?

Is this a one-off job or something you offer as a service? If the former, then Faststone can add text to the jpegs exported from Lightroom (and it's free). If you want a template to do it then I reckon Mogrify could do it with a bit of trial and error. Frank Hollis - Retired mass spectroscopist
