I have a saved watermark, created using the text editor in Lightroom. It has been working perfectly for years but suddenly it comes out pixilated after exporting with no changes to the usual settings. I've tried with my usual export presets and different resolutions and fonts but the end result is still pixilated.

I've seen some solutions by creating a PNG image which seems like a bit of a schlep since this watermark has been working for so long and for no apparent reason now fails.

Has anyone else had this issue recently and how do we fix it?

Hi there,

Thanks for highlighting this.

Which version of Lightroom classic are you using? Did this start happening after any updates? What is the file type that you're working with?
You can try resetting Lightroom's preferences using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2JSym5e.

Please back up your presets prior to resetting the preferences.

A similar issue was reported by a user which is under investigation; you might want to have a look: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-graphical-watermarks-are-rendering-in-low-resolution/idi-p/13143240.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi Ranjisha,

My problem seems identical to Matteo's. I'm using version 11.5 and for me the problem occurs when exporting to jpegs after editing the raw files. I tend to update lightroom as soon as there is an update available. So, it is possible that this occured after the update. Has any progress been made since this seems to be an issue foor many users?
