Graphics Programs Reference
In-Depth Information
The first time I saw Lightroom, one of the features that really struck me as different
was the ability to replace the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom logo (that appears in
the upper-left corner of Lightroom) with either the name of your studio or your
studio's logo. I have to say, when you're doing client presentations, it does add a
nice custom look to the program (as if Adobe designed Lightroom just for you),
but beyond that, the ability to create an Identity Plate goes farther than just giving
Lightroom a custom look (but we'll start here, with the custom look).
Adding Your Studio's
Name or Logo for
a Custom Look
Step One:
First, just so we have a frame of reference,
here's a zoomed-in view of the top-left
corner of Lightroom's interface, so you
can clearly see the logo we're going to
replace starting in Step Two. Now, you can
either replace Lightroom's logo using text
(and you can even have the text of the
modules in the taskbar on the top right
match), or you can replace the logo with
a graphic of your logo (we'll look at how
to do both).
Step Two:
Go under the Lightroom menu (the Edit
menu on a PC) and choose Identity Plate
Setup to bring up the Identity Plate Editor
(shown here). By default, the name you
registered your software in shows up high-
lighted in the large black text field in the
middle of the dialog, in a font you'd never
actually use. To have your name replace
the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 logo
seen above, turn on the Enable Identity Plate
checkbox at the top left of the dialog. If you
don't want your name as your Identity Plate,
just type in whatever you'd like (the name
of your company, studio, etc.), then while
the type is still highlighted, choose a font,
font style (bold, italic, condensed, etc.), and
font size from the pop-up menus (directly
below the text field).
