P: Simple Watermark fails to appear

Allowed the upgrade to 11.4 LR Classic happen. Follow that by an import of some new images. Adjusted and then exported using my usual pre-set that includes "simple watermark". No watermark showing in created image. Today I experimented with exporting an image from my last imporot prior to upgrade.  No changes to any data including the export preset. No watermark showing on the exported duplicate image. Something is amiss. Opoeratingi system is OSX 11.6.6. As a workaround I created a custom watermark text. But I really like the "simple watermark" that gets the data from the copyright data field that way I don't have to worry about the mark being different than what I put in my data for each image. Is this an image data disconnect or a disconnect with system fonts? In either case I would have expected the simple watermark capability to work like before.

Been using copyright watermarks since Lightroom Beta. The Metadata > Copyright field is populated and Watermark checkbox (Simple Copyright Watermark) in Export window is checked.

running macOS 12.4

This has been happening for over a month. 

I tried resetting Watermark to default and had to try a custom setting, on export I got error message that watermark failed

Up to version 11.3 the copyright could be inserted from the IPTC data as watermark when exporting the images. This doesn't work anymore with version 11.4. A presset must be used here. But here the content is fixed. Therefore, this can not be used if several images should receive different watermarks when exporting. Is there a solution and procedure for this or is it a bug in the export function?

Sorry my mistake. It was after 13.1 so my post can be removed.

I have found that after 11.2 this issue occured. I found that it affects a Font that I have added but is not there if I use a standard Windows font e.g. Arial.

For what it's worth, I'm experiencing the same issue - a follower of my youtube channel asked me if I was experiencing this problem, I checked it on my main computer running LR Classic 11.4, and then I confirmed that it was happening for me too. I also tried it with my laptop, with LR Classic 11.3.1 - it works with that version.

 

I found this thread while searching for a similar problem before posting my own.

 

I'm using Windows 10, so it looks like it happens both with mac and win. I tried disabling gpu acceleration completely, but it didn't help.

 

Thanks for taking care of this!

I am seeing the same thing. Export was reworked to use GPU and this may be a result.  I will get a bug logged.
