Personalize identity plates and module buttons
You can personalize the Lightroom workspace, slide shows, and printed output using identity plates that include your
name and logo.
1 Do one of the following to open the Identity Plate Editor:
• Choose Edit > Identity Plate Setup (Windows) or Lightroom > Identity Plate Setup (Mac OS).
• In the Overlays panel of the Slideshow module or the Page panel of the Print module, click the Identity Plate
preview and choose Edit from the pop-up menu.
2 In the Identity Plate Editor, select one of the following:
Use A Styled Text Identity Plate Uses the text you enter in the box with the font characteristics that you specify in
the menus below the box.
Tip : (Mac OS) To create a multiline text identity plate, press Option+Return in the text box. Lightroom displays just
the first line of an identity plate to the left of the Module Picker. However, all lines appear when the identity plate is
selected as an output overlay in the Slideshow, Print, or Web module.
Use A Graphical Identity Plate Uses a graphic that is no more than 57 pixels high (Mac OS) or 46 pixels high
(Windows) that you drag into the box. The graphic can be a BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, or TIFF (Windows), or JPG, GIF,
PNG, TIFF, PDF, or PSD (Mac OS). The resolution of graphical identity plates may be too low for printed output.
3 Choose Save As from the Enable Identity Plate menu, and give your identity plate a name.
4 To display your identity plate on the left side of the Module Picker, select Enable Identity Plate and choose one of
your saved identity plates from the menu to the right.
5 In the pop-up menus in the right side of the dialog box, customize the font, size, and color of the Module Picker
buttons. The first color picker box sets the color of the current module, and the second box sets the color for
unselected modules.
