Previously I had no problem exporting with my different logos. In the Lightroom Classic export dialog box I have the add Watermark checked and have choosen on of my saved logos. It will not export the image

Sometimes, choosing an unusual font for the watermark causes this problem. As an experiment, try changing the font to a rather commonly used font like Times or Arial, and see if the problem goes away.

I switched to a Generic Watermark and it did export. However, I use a PhotoLogo Watermark on my images. They exported just fine until a few days ago when my Mac did a OS update. If I use the Print module, the photo logo will work but when I want to export from the Develop module at full size I get the Cannot Export - Watermark Failed. How do I get this back?

We strongly prefer it when you tell us the version NUMBER of your OS, and not that it just updated. We also need the version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic. Describing the versions in words is always a problem, we need the version NUMBER.
