Step Three:
Now, besides just pulling the filename and
metadata stuff, you can also create your
own custom text (but it's going to show
up at the bottom of the cell and this text
is stuck there—you can't reposition it like
you can the Identity Plate text, which
is why I usually use that instead). If you
choose Custom Text from the Photo Info
pop-up menu, a field appears below it, so
you can type in your custom text. You can
also choose Edit from that same pop-up
menu to bring up the Text Template Editor
(shown here), where you can create your
own custom list of data that Lightroom
will pull from each photo's metadata and
print under that photo. In this case, I chose
to add text showing the filename, exposure,
ISO, and the focal length of the lens by
clicking the Insert button beside each of
these fields in the Editor or choosing them
from the pop-up menus. I can't imagine
why anyone would want that type of infor-
mation printed beneath the photo. But
you know, and I know, there's somebody
out there right now reading this and
thinking, “All right! Now I can put the
EXIF camera data right on the print!”
The world needs these people.
Step Four:
If you're printing pages for a photo book,
you can have Lightroom automatically
number those pages. In the Page panel,
turn on the Page Options checkbox, then
turn on the checkbox for Page Numbers.
Lastly, if you're doing a series of test prints,
you can have your print settings (includ-
ing your level of sharpening, your color
management profile, and your selected
printer) appear on the bottom-left side
of the print (as seen here) by turning on
the Page Info checkbox.
