Lightroom Mogrify

So what does "mogrify" mean? Well, I have no idea what the actual word means but I do know that photographers and photography gurus now associate the word with Timothy Armes Lightroom Plugin. If you don't use this plugin yet, you have to give it a try. It's a watermarking and image border creation tool that works through the export command in Lightroom. It has some great options and it's really slick. For more information click Here. While your there check out Timothy's work as well. He has some great images. If you want to go directly to his home page click on his logo to the right.

Now back to Lightroom Mogrify. The only way to currently watermark images in Lightroom is to use the print module and load your logo via the identity plate adjusting the opacity to your liking. This method is limited and does not allow you to create a custom border. Hopefully in a future version of lightroom we'll see a better watermarking tool but until then, Mogrify provides an excellent alternative. It gives you real flexibility for creating a border for your images as well as placing your watermark. Once you create your settings, you can save them as an export preset for future iamges. This makes a great tool for blog images. Here are a few samples. Let me know what you think. These are two wedding bridal bouquet's.
