Update Your Lightroom Copyright Metadata Before You Import Another Photo in 2025
Every January I do the same thing: I spend way too long organizing my preset folders, rethinking my export settings, and completely forgetting the one administrative task that actually matters legally. I blow past the new year and import hundreds of photos before I realize my copyright metadata still reads the previous year. It’s not a disaster, but it’s also not nothing. Copyright information embedded in your files is your first line of defense if an image gets scraped, stolen, or published without permission.
