P: Edit watermark lightroom 11.5 must save as new one even though nothing was edited

In lightroom 11.5 (on mac os catalina 15.7) when i export an image, i select watermark in the export window, then choose 'edit watermark' and then i can select my different watermarks to see which one fits best. In 11.5 whenever i choose a different watermark, it changes to 'edited' and i have to save it with a new name in order to select it. In 11.4.1 and earlier versions, i could select one of my watermark presets that i wanted and click 'done' and that watermark would be applied.

 

The workaround is to see what watermark fits the image best, then cancel (for i do not want to save a watermark preset that i have and that i have not made any changes to), then choose cancel, and then in the export window, scroll to the watermark i want in the watermark drop down window.

Version : Lightroom 11.5

Computer : Macbook Pro // MacOs Monterey Version 12.6

 

Since yesterday at night, when I want to export photos, the watermark is visible when I try to edit it but when the photos are exported, there is no watermark applied on the pictures. 

 

This is the first time I've had this problem. 

 

Can you help me please ? 

 

Thank you,

Perle

Exact same issue, I have been using the exact same graphic watermarks with Lightroom Classic for years, the graphic files are still in the same location, but all of a sudden they stopped being included as part of exported photos. 

Same LR version: 11.5

Also on a Macbook pro, but i am on Mac OS Monterey 12.5.

 

This is extremely annoying, I am a professional photographer and have to share photos on social media each week but cannot do this without watermarking my images. 

Counting on Adobe to fix this bug asap.

Bonsoir,
Les filigranes graphiques ne marche plus lors d'une exportation sur la version 11.5.

Le filigrane graphique apparait bien dans la fenetre de modification des filigranes, mais n'apparait pas sur la photo exportée?
Avez-vous une idée?
Cordialement

Anyone else having trouble exporting watermarked photos in LR? The photos without watermark are not a problem, but I do the same operations with the same settings as before when exporting with watermark. And yet I keep getting the message below...

However, the watermark is of a regular client and therefore already often used.
I've tried to use another existing watermark, to re-export the watermark as a png file from psd, change my settings,... but obviously I haven't found the solution yet. Anyone who knows the answer?

I just found the problem, I think it's an issue with compatibility. The new update doesn't recognise old png's so I saved it again in photoshop and now it works. Im not sure why but this fix worked for me.

Also, I am sure you simply mistyped, however Catalina was version 11.x.

Hello - Out of curiosity, I just tried exporting a photo from my LR catalog, adding one of my existing .png watermarks. In the export window I carefully lloked at each option. making sure the settings were the way I want. The preview showed my watermark. Then I exported the image and the water mark showed up as planned. I am also on MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 with LRc 11.5.

Buongiorno, ho installato la versione 11.5 su MacOS 12.5.1. Non riesco più a fare l'esportazione di foto con filigrana png, nella foto esportata la filigrana non si vede. Se la faccio testuale funziona. Suggerimenti?

I have been using a PNG image of my signature for many years on exportin g photos. I have not changed any settings and am exporting as JPEG. Suddenly the signature, although showing in "edit watermark" is not showing on the exported image. I have edited watermark, loaded the graphic and renamed the preset but to no avail. Any thoughts will be appreiciated.

Thanks
