I have a grey card in my wallet, the same size as a credit card. Easily can be moved from wallet to pants pocket or to breast pocket of shirt for easy access and use in the field when actively needed.

But, it's getting onto years now since I've used the card. I now let the camera operate in auto WB in all situations while shooting in RAW in all situations. I then adjust the K temp and Green-Red tint in LR during editing. You need a calibrated monitor and may need to futz with the values both initially and during a final check of results after editing. I don't click a control point within the image, rather just eye-ball. Use the before / after swap to help eyeball the needed changes.

The auto WB adjustment within LR is usually worse than no change, but the software analysis helps you understand, typically, the direction of the update needed. The auto analysis may make the image too warm or cool, but you can use the direction of the change to determine the update to the original WB / K-temp as determined by the camera. Or, sometimes the LR software will indicate the opposite direction, making an image warmer (higher K temp) when the "correct" update is to pull the K-temp lower from the out-of-camera temp. As you experience and observe the tendencies of the camera and the software, you get a feel for how they work, and over time, can work more efficiently in your editing.

To me, the best aspect of LR is setting the WB on one image and then syncing that change across all similar images. I may tweak the WB further as I work across the images, but usually, after I've "established" the WB for that situation / time of day, I just need to sync across the images and move onto other edits.

Hi Deanie. Fonts are a function of the computer, not the software. Check to determine what fonts will work with your computer platform. For watermarks, some people now purchase a premed graphic watermark and import it into LR. You can also, as others have said, create a graphic watermark in PS, save as a PNG, then import that into LR. And, you can use both the Watermark function and the Identity Plate function in LR to create a watermark with two lines. You can create a watermark with two lines in the Identity Plate function but it is tricky to do that. I have included images below with two examples. The first example is a watermark created in PS, imported into LR. The second example (I simply used my name twice just to show two lines) is a watermark that you can create with both the Watermark Editor and the Identity Plate Editor. The name font I am using was purchased online for a Mac. Using both Watermark and Identity Plate functions allows you the ability to put additional text on an image, for example, when creating a Christmas card.

It's tricky to create a watermark that will work on a wide variety of images, to be automatically added by Lightroom.

Watermarks cannot be "created" in LR. There may be some preset ones, but they will no doubt be "generic".

Use some other program to create the watermark. I used Photoshop (but have used other programs in the past). I assume you don't have Photoshop, since you went online to create your watermarks.

Lightroom can scale the size of the watermark to match each image... so make the watermark fairly large (if I recall correctly, I used 60 pt type).

I use a fairly bold, easy to read type face and colored it gray. Next I outlined it in white (which is easily done in "Layer styles" in Photoshop... if using another program to create the watermark, you'll have to figure it out). This way the watermark will be visible and readable on virtually any image.... whether light toned or dark toned. I leave the original watermark with no reduction in transparency, but later will set transparency in Lightroom.

Then it's just a matter of "flattening" any layers and saving the image as a "PNG" file.

The "PNG" file type is important if you want the watermark to have a transparent background, so that only the type shows up on your images when Lightroom adds it. JPGs and GIFs cannot have a transparent background, so will look like a strip of tape with the type on it, laid on your image.

Once the watermark is ready to use and has been saved somewhere, you probably already know you next need to tell LR where it is. You can have multiple watermarks for different purposes. LR will store a list of them, which you can change manually prior to exporting your images (I store a "watermark" and a "signature", which I use for different purposes).

Here are examples (Note: in this case, the signature was applied manually using Photoshop, but it's largely the same when LR automatically adds it to each of a batch of images):
