The new release seems to have an issue with watermarks.

What looks still okay in the watermark editor (as it did in previous versions) gets messed up during export, with light color watermark turning to grey.

Maybe it is a Windows issue. If you create a new temporary watermark PNG does it do the same thing. If you create a test one that has the issue and post a link to the file I would test it on my Mac.

Thank you, Bob. Here is the original file I'm using. It still worked properly when I published an image to Flickr yesterday.

I used your PNG watermark and it appears there is transparency in the text of the PNG and that the background is showing through. A closeup of the text of the exported image shows the following.

There is definately a differnce in the Watermark Preview and the Exported file

Left is display in Watermark Editor, Middle is Export and right is your PNG

I am not seeing this issue on LrC 11.4 and MacOS 12.4. I created a white lettered transparent PNG to use as a graphic watermark and it exported the correct color.
