    I am experiencing the same since upgrade, I have to do a blank watermark just to export photos.. Not impressed especially in the tale end of wedding season with large collections to work with.

    I spent an hour on a phone call with support (Mahima was her name).  We tried several workarounds.  I don't know what worked, but I can now export with a watermark, but it takes an excruciating long time.  What used to be near instantaneous now takes several minutes.  I was told that the lag time was due to the size of my files.  I said that the file size has nothing to do with it, that they exported effortlessly prior to the update.  SMH. I will try to "correct answer" posted on this thread, but right now, this is not good!!!

    Had the same problem after updating today, and resetting my LR preferences did the trick.

      HI - please read through all the green (Correct answers).

      Basically, 
      If watermark image is not available on disk, then graphical watermark associated with it is invalid. This can only happen when watermark is moved/renamed/deleted on disk after graphical watermark is created in Lightroom.
