I can’t imagine why anyone would want that type of information printed beneath the photo. In this case, I chose to add text showing the filename, exposure, ISO, and the focal length of the lens by clicking the Insert button beside each of these fields in the Editor or choosing them from the pop-up menus. You can also choose Edit from that same pop-up menu to bring up the Text Template Editor (shown here), where you can create your own custom list of data that Lightroom will pull from each photo’s metadata and print under that photo. If you choose Custom Text from the Photo Info pop-up menu, a field appears below it, so you can type in your custom text. Now, besides just pulling the filename and metadata stuff, you can also create your own custom text (but it’s going to show up at the bottom of the cell and this text is stuck there-you can’t reposition it like you can the Identity Plate text, which is why I usually use that instead). Then highlight everything under the first line, and change the font.

( Note: This doesn’t work on a PC, but you can create it in Photoshop as a graphical Identity Plate.) Then, hit the Spacebar 20 times (to center the text) and type the second line.

Here’s how I got two lines of text with different fonts (Trajan Pro on top Minion Pro Italic on the bottom): Once you set the top row of text (I hit the spacebar once between each letter), then press Option-Return twice to move down two lines. Once it’s there, you can click-and-drag it right where you want it (in this case, drag it down and position it in the center of the space below the photo, as shown here).
