Depuis mon passage a la derniere version de Lightroom Classique V.12 je ne peux plus exporter mes photos! J'ai a la place un encart blanc ou il est marqué "impossible d'exporter : echec du filigrane"....

Une solution?

This Solution By skin mf  is the same solution that I used for Non Watermarked images: 
1. Create a new watermark.

2. Text-only, set the opacity to zero.
3. Export with your new blank watermark.
But for those instances when I did want to actually use a watermark - I had to recreate them from scratch by first editing the Simple Watermark default option. I had no problems after this.

Type something in watermark. Export once and then remove watermark. It will work

It seems that Graphic Watermarks that have NOT been moved, deleted or renamed cannot be retrieved in the Export Process. They only way I managed to add a watermark using them was to redefine them from scratch by editing the default SIMPLE WATERMARK in the watermarks puldown list...This is in addition to the NO-Watermark Export Bug which currently can be overcomed by using a blank or 0% opacity watermark.

After installing LrC 2023, I have a problem I don’t know the solution to. When I want to export photos to 4 different folders (each time the same photo with different resolution, 2 of them with watermark); I get following message: “Can't export, watermark not added”. However, this function is checked. I also get the same message if I want to export only the 2 photos without watermark. What is going wrong?

I have resolved another watermark issue for a colleague: He checked the Watermark option to use his graphic PNG signature and was unable to export. The images for his watermarks were located in the very same folder on D. I redefined these watermark by editing the SIMPLE WATERMARK, saved a whole set of 4 watermarks (Left/Right/Black/White) and now the export with the new set of graphic watermarks works OK. It was not possible at all to edit the previous watermark - all the options were greyed out and inactive!!!!

Hi, I have updated my LRC Catalog to V12. 3 hours ago. I am aware of many complaints about this strange Bug, also posted on Lightroom Israel Facebook page. I sent forth the suggestion from Adobe to bypass this problem by creating an empty watermark. The only question I have is why do I NOT have this BUG when I export? I have exported with and without the watermark option checked. I have exported multiple images with and without an export preset. I cannot see any sign of this bug on my Desktop Windows. This does not make sense. Either the bug appears in a particular setting that I cannot recreate or it chooses it's victims selectively...mmm....

Quick fix (because I really needed too get my exports done):
1. Create a new watermark.
2. Text-only, set the opacity to zero.
3. Export with your new blank watermark.

 

I haven't tried deleting all my old watermarks yet.

Bonjour, je viens de mettre à jour CC et après avoir importé des photos sur Lightroom classic, je n'arrive pas à les exporter, le message 'Echec du filigrane' apparait. Avez vous eu ce problème et comment l'avez-vous résolu? Pas de problème de mémoire ou de taille de disque sur mon PC...

  • Merci pour vos réponses, j'ai résolu le problème d'exportation de LR12 suite à la dernière maj de CC en créant un filigrane avec les 2 opacités à 0%. Ça fera l'affaire en attendant le correctif.
