Locating Watermark In LR

[smoke665]

Don't know if I'm overlooking it, but I can't find how to adjust the spacing/location when using a "custom" watermark/logo. LR seems to automatically place it to close to the edge. I print everything with a bleed edge, which means if the print is framed, it cuts off part of it. In PS 8 there wasn't a way to adjust, the work around either being to add text to a layer, or create a custom brush. Is this also true in LR? Or, are there margin adjustments?

When I insert a Graphic as my watermark it has a section that lets me put in an Inset value. That would let you adjust for a bleed edge.

Ah I found it. I hadn't scrolled down far enough. Any information as to what a "unit" is????

I never knew. What I do is take my old Engineers Scale out of the back of the desk drawer and it just happens that I can just measure right on the monitor the distance. So I just measure directly, if the scale I have available is not the final print size then i just convert proportionally.

If you need more distance than what the LR slider will give you then probably best to open the graphic of the watermark in PS and put it in a larger canvas and save as png so there is no background color.
