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.

Synced Collections are not output files per se' like the Web Galleries.  They are designed to be proxies for originals so that you can continue working away from your desktop.  A better option might be to get them into the sharing features via the Lightroom web environment.

Looks like my iPad is not compatible with ios 11. A replacement is a bit expensive for just this feature when all other functions work. I personally would prefer the feature to be made to work in LR Classic desktop (Windows). It's there for web galleries so why not with 'Synced collections on the web'?

Maybe you just need to manually check for updates like this:

First click on the three dots...



Does that help?

Can be but isn't in all cases.  It may suffice for some but not all of us.

Who said it was closed? 

A point of correction: A copyright notice can be a watermark.

It is a copywite mark not a watermark.  So it shouldn't be closed period.  We combined numerous threads into one and Adobe delivered the bare minimum of what one customer asked for.

It's not implemented on Android, so no closing yet.

This thread is a combination of about 10 other threads.  It has been open for years in some cases.  I personally have had my thread combined at least 5 times over the last 3 years.  So what the original poster asked for is highly irrelevant at this point considering not all OP requests were tracked as threads were joined.
