How to watermark your photos with Adobe Lightroom

Hello Steemians here I will let you a little short tutorial for all those steemians that will love to watermark their photos.
I will be using for this tutorial the Adobe Lightroom app because I have been using it for more than a decade on PC then also in mobile in both of my devices smarphone and Ipad pro.
The good thing about this software is a freemium app with paid option if you planing to use the extras. is not so big in size and is very well maintained and its has a very nice clean UI (user interface).

Well lest go to the tutorial now shall we.

First if you don't have the app installed. please download the app, is avaliable for the OS (opertaing system) you use on pc or mobile in the appstore or play store I will include the links at the end of this tutorial. Once downloaded open it and it will open in the main menu where you will need to add some images to edit, in this case to watermark and protect your photo collections.

Here is how it looks in the main window in my case i already have some photos i have been working on.

Now i believe the text option is selected by default if not then select the text section unless you prefer an image like a logo for example.

Ok once you select the text option there in the text box you can write the words you want as a watermark then you can see many options here to play with, but you play with that later jaja for now lets concentrate on the basics and more importan.
Press the T icon if you want to change the font type then in the scroll bars section you have the option to change size and opacity you will see two little squares one white and the other black for bright images select black and for dark images use white. I believe you can use other color but the most used are B/W.

Then if you deside to go for an image the setting are practically the same. Now let say you already place the watermark and you are ready to go.
Ok lets say your ready to export the photo with the watermark. the just press the little arrow in the left upper side to go back and then press the little green check mark.
