P: Lightroom Classic 12.2 Watermark being incorrectly positioned on Export

Overnight and since installing Lightroom Classic 12.2 watermark is being incorrectly located on export. On preview before export the watermark is correctly positioned and clipped at the top. After export, the watermark has moved significantly vertically and is ruining the image. Everything was fine before running the update. Running LRC on MacBook Air with MacOS Ventura 13.1

    Hi! I'm using the 12.2 Lightroom Classic version and I'm experiencing my watermarks are not being correctly exported on the image... More exactly, my watermark is being cropped at the upper part... Please, find the 2 sample pics below to understand what's going on (first is my watermark and then it's what I get when I export it - bottom left corner): 

    I'd appreciate any help to sort out this problem!! Thanks in advance!

      I am having a similar issue.  I set up the watermark to be in the right-hand corner, with text centered.  The preview window looks just fine.  On export, the text is left-justified.  All worked fine until this latest upgrade.  OS is Windows 10, LightRoom Classic 12.2.

      Please note that the watermarks don't place correctly with the 12,2 version, too high. Await your information to resolve the issue. Thanks

        We're aware of this. Here are the current workarounds for now.

        If you're using a graphic watermark,

        • Go to Watermark preset preview window in Edit > Watermarks
        • Check if the boundaries of the graphic watermark are out of the image, as shown below.

           

        • Keep the watermark within the image bounds if it is out of the boundaries. You can also crop the watermark graphic & save it again as a separate preset temporarily.

        • Export from Lightroom classic.

         

        Alternatively, you can roll back to Lightroom Classic 12.1 from the Creative Cloud desktop app. Check here for steps: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

          Yeah, me too. 12.1 works fine with the watermarks. Staying there until this is fixed.

            I backrev'd to 12.1 where we are getting the spinning color pinwheel and the watermarking works as it used to, so for sure the update broke something.

                I also reported this bug.. its somewhere below in comments. I actually filed a new bug for it but it was merged into this issue. I am commenting here hoping I hear back from support. I got reply from Sameer about a solution. I could not reply to it as it was a private message and reply to was "noreply@..." email so didn't know how to respond back so respnding here..

                 

                The solution suggested by Sameer was to resize the logo. Please note that this is not acceptable solution. Here is why

                - for as long as i have been using lightroom classic which is about 7+ years that I have used original feature which is now broken. Original feature allowed me to keep logo at given size.. in my case it was 19% of the total image. With that size I could align it to corner of the image. Only after latest update this is now broken so just resizing logo doesn't fix it.. in faact if I resize it then I have to resize logo to such a small size that putting that logo on the image doesn't even serve purpose. At that size I would not even put logo on the image.

                 

                Please fix the issue!!
