Design graphical identity plates in Photoshop
For the most control over the appearance of all the identity plates you use in
Lightroom, I recommend you design them in Photoshop, save them as
png i les, and then bring them into the Lightroom's Identity Plate Editor. h is is
explained in detail in Chapter 6.
Back in the Overlays panel, the preview shows your selected identity plate. Below
the preview box is an option for Override Color, which as the name implies, will
override any colors in the identity plate with a color you set here. Tick the box to
enable the function, then click the swatch to the right to open the color picker and
set the color.
