P: (Win/Mac) Lightroom Classic 12.0 Unable to export: Watermarking Failed

Hi Katerherine, 

I read this threat luckily and tried adding a 0% watermark and then it started to export again also without a watermark! Great tip thanks

Lightroom can't export my photos all of a sudden. Getting a notification that watermark is not included and the photos can't export. I am not even including a watermark or change anything in my export settings. It happened while my computer died while exporting a batch. 

Can anybody help me? I have Lightroom Classic 12.0

update: this workaround worked for me at least for now, you just need to ensure after creation of the new watermark you make sure it is checked in the export dialog box. https://youtu.be/84DcwYtaeOU as stated earlier resetting my preferences did not help.

Update: reset preferences in LRC, restarted, still can't export, same error message.  BTW several weeks ago, seems like after an update, some of my watermark images started not showing up in the 'select watermark' dialog.  In other words the named drop down was still listed in the dropdown, but did not show in the example with the dotted line around it.  The image file was still there in the same location.  Seems like a link to the image was broken.  When I tried repairning the link that did not work either, so would have to create a brand new one.  But now I simply can't export.  Guess I'll have to try and just delete all watermarks and see if that resolves it.  Will then have to rebuild them.  

running latest version of LR classic on Mac OS..an trying to export photos for a client but *can't*, even though watermark is unchecked in the export preferences.   Tried deleting a few watermarks (is there a limit?) that did not work.  So will have to try resetting preferences so I can get the client their photos.  BTW the method for deleting watermarks is amazingly non-intuitive.  Who designed that?

in the meantime i could locate the corresponding file in the preference folder and i manualy deleted it. Export is working again hurray !

of course i need to redo my export preferences 🙂

"can not find the file "com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist" (maps are shown after doing Go>Library in Finder, but the requested file is not one of them)."

As described in the help article referred to above, the preferences are stored in /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences, not in /Users/[user name]/Library:

Are you not seeing the Preferences subfolder after doing Go > Library in Finder?  If not, please post a screenshot of the Finder window after doing Go > Library and scrolling to show all subfolders whose names start with "P", e.g.:

On MacOS - LrC12,0

have exactly the same problem , but could not make the suggested solutions to work e.g. can not find the file "com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist" (maps are shown after doing Go>Library in Finder, but the requested file is not one of them). Same is true for the file containing the watermark information (possible solution suggested by johnrellis.

This is realy annoying as i'm exporting all the time (as most of us do i guess). Any further help? 

Nach einer automatischen Aktualisierung von Lightroom erscheint beim Export von Dateien, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob ich bei "Wasserzeichen" ein Häkchen setze oder nicht, die Fehlermeldung

Export nicht möglich

Wer weiß Abhilfe?
