Perchè cancellare le filigrane, alcuni ne hanno tante, basta crearne una testuale vuota e il problema si risolve. Poi aspettiamo che intervenga Adobe con una patch risolutiva.

@SunnyKaura, the post marked "correct answer" above lists two possible workarounds, deleting your existing watermarks and resetting LR's preferences:

Others have posted here that these have worked for them.

I do not have a Watermark selected in the export dialog box, but I keep getting this error msg and can't export. Can anyone share a fix? This was not happening before I updated a day ago.

I just updated, to Lightroom 12.0, October 18, 2022. I am using Mac OS Monterey 12.6. I use a 2020 iMac.

I had this issue but literally deleted all my watermarks and it now works ok. I use a mac.

Root cause: 
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.

Hey everyone, 

 

Just updated my lightroom and now I have problems with exporting 

Lightroom Classic version: 12.0 

working on a macbook 

 

I get an error message:

Unable to export 

watermarking failed

 

even when I don't have any watermarkings crossed. 

yesterday before my update this pre settings just worked fine. I tried it with different export settings but I get the same error message. 

 

Anyone else have the same problem?
