Mogrify is a great plugin for lightroom. I don't know what I would do without it. Actually, I don't know why lightroom didn't include something like this in the beginning. It is that helpful.

1. Start by downloading Mogrify here:
http://timothyarmes.com/lr2mogrify.php

2. Next install the plugin

You should be reading the instructions on how to install and set up Mogrify as it does require some modification.

3. Create a watermark in PSD or TIFF format with Photoshop,Fireworks or an equivalent program. It must have a transparent background. I chose to use TIFF because the PSD wasn't showing up on the exported image for some reason.



4. Enable Mogrify Configuration in Post-Process Actions (This is where reading the instructions comes in handy)

5. Enable Graphical Watermark in Post-Process Actions. Enable "Overlay Watermark"

6. Locate your file and configure the options it to your needs. I chose Lighten in Overlay Mode to show the white watermark

7. Export!

And it should come out like this:
