CS4 and adding copyright to EXIF

[Rachel Foster]

Is there an easy way to do this in a batch edit?

I use Lightroom 2 to add this - you can do the whole gallery at once. I bet there is a batch action to do that too.

Thanks, Kathy.

Don't know if this is an easy way, but you could create an action filling in the copyright information, then use that action as the basis for creating a droplet. The latter is pretty straight forward once you bring the dialog up. The two together would do what you want.

Hi, Rachel,

Is there an easy way to do this in a batch edit?

Many people advocate placing the copyright notice not only in the Exif metadata but also in the IPTC metadata.

Best regards,

Thanks....I tried the action thing but made a misstep somewhere.

IPTC data, EXIF, and bottom corner seems to be safest from what I can tell.
