P: Text-based watermarks render with outline on text

Yes! Now, on windows 10 with Lr 12.2 it works properly!
Thank you 😉

I downgraded to 11.4.1 version to avoid this issue.

We hope that Adobe resolve this issue soon!

I'm also affected by this bug (v12.1) and it worries me that it's been 4 months since the bug was reported and still no fix in sight. What's the latest version people are downgrading to in order to avoid it?

Thanks for the reply Fabrizio,
yes, I export at different resolutions and on small 1600x1200 images vertically, this defect is more noticeable.
It's a shame that I have to downgrade just to get the correct watermarks.
Let's hope they fix it soon!

No Matteo, unfortunately Adobe has not yet solved the problem. Yesterday I tried exporting an image with a text watermark and I still get the ugly "eroded" result. I switched to using a graphic watermark: I created with Photoshop a small transparent image containing only my signature and apply it to exported images through the watermark panel in Lightroom. The problem with this approach - and the reason why I was using a text watermark - is that if you export images at different dimensions the graphic watermark does not get scaled well, so for better results you should use a different graphic watermark for every different image size you need. In my workflow this is a minor issue as I am only exporting watermarked images in one size (1024 px), but maybe you have different needs.

Has anyone solved the problem?
Unfortunately, I still have the problem with version 12.1.

With update 12.0.1, on windows, I find already this problem.

I will come back to 11.4.1

Lightroom Classic version 11.5

OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 build 22621.608,Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22634.1000.0

For many years I have been using a text watermark - not a graphic one -  with always the same settings. Since I updated from Lightroom Classic 11.4.1 to 11.5 I noticed the watermark was not rendering correctly: letters appeared as "eroded" and copyright mark was barely visible. I tried many different options, all separetely: changing font; allowing the OS to manage font anti-alias in LR Classic settings; changing the shadow settings, all to no avail. Reverting to Lightroom Classic version 11.4.1 solved the problem, so it definitely has to be something introduced by version 11.5. I include two photos: the first one shows how the watermark has always looked and still does in Lightroom Classic version 11.4.1; the second one how the watermark looks in version 11.5.
