Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding type or graphics, part of Lightroom 6 Essential Training.
- Let's take a look at how we can add some type…and how we could add an image or some graphics…to the background area of our book projects.…All right, well, let's begin by working with…text and type (mumbles), if we click on…an area you'll notice that it allows us…to add text for a photograph.…To add text, we can click on this button here…and we can then type out some text.…We can also do the same thing by opening up…the Text panel here.…As we click on this, you can see…we can turn this option on and off.…And I'm gonna go ahead and type out some text here.…
I'll type out THE ORWIG FAMILY.…And next what we wanna do is perhaps…change where this appears.…Maybe we want this underneath so I'll select the option…where we can display this below.…We can also change the overall type…by going to the Type panel.…In the Type panel we can select things…like fonts, size, opacity, and also position.…If we want this to appear in the middle of the page…we can put it right there.…All right, well, in most of my book projects,…I actually don't add typography…
