P: Graphical & Image Based Watermarks on images

When outputting any image from Lightroom mobile directly to any service, the image needs to have, at minimum, a © NAME simple watermark placed upon it. I don't think we need full functionality of the Watermark editor in Lightroom desktop but we do need the minimum functionality of the Simple Watermark in Lightroom's Export dialog. Until there is a way to mark an image, why would anyone consider using LR mobile to post anywhere?

NOTE: The original post was a request for a simple, text based watermark which has been implemented. This thread will continue to be the place to vote for image based watermarks.

Edit: 1/21/2020 - This thread has been changed to represent all three of the Lightroom Ecosystem Clients (Desktop, Web, and Mobile)

Edit: 5/15/2020 - This thread has been updated to include information on new functionalities. Please see the official post below.

I would like to add/upload my own created watermark in lightroom cc. Then applying it when using iPad / iPhone to take photos but as well if uploading or sharing my photos in various ways. Not only the standard text written through the app. Please 🙂

I don't use this to share finished images. Frankly it would be crappy for that function as it resizes the images relatively small. I use this to share images for client selection on which unedited images clients want me to edit for them. Khurt, I would love for you to share pros who have no problem with a client using unedited images. This isn't about using watermarks on your final work or not, this is about keeping clients from using the unedited images. Plus there are many photographers who charge extra on a per photo basis. No watermarking means they lose possible revenue.
Feel free to debate watermarks on final works in a thread where it is relevant.

"We" don't all need watermarking to share professional work. Now you have the feature you can use. Many professional photographers don't use watermarks. Here's one.

Here's another: https://lorenphotos.com (Loren is local to my area).

So ... glad we all now have this feature but really ... it didn't matter.

It would be nice to have watermark presets available at the export stage, so we don't have to go from the image in the edit panel back into the settings every time we want to alter it.

It will be nicer if i can add a fixed logo ( ex. Dr. Girish photography ) by default to every photo i click. With little creative design options will be better. Like different styles, placement of logo etc before u click the photo. Also please dont detoriate the quality of photo. Please add different options for saving photos in HD and other lower versions.
