I can put a watermark on all pictures, but many will not export with the watermark . I have been able to successfully export a few but not all . What am I doing wrong or is it the picture , or am I missing a step ?

    Hi ​@Rmedina41 

     

    Thanks for reaching out. The behavior you're describing is not something we would normally expect when applying a watermark during export. 

    Could you please share the step-by-step workflow you're following? If possible, a short screen recording demonstrating the issue would be very helpful for us to understand what's happening.

    In the meantime, could you also try the following?

    • Export a different set of images using a different watermark.
    • Let us know whether the issue still occurs.

    If the export works correctly with different images or a different watermark, it would suggest the issue is specific to either the original watermark or the affected image files.

    If the issue persists regardless of the images or watermark used, please try resetting Lightroom Classic's preferences by launching the application while holding Shift + Option (macOS) or Shift + Alt (Windows), then confirm the prompt to reset the preferences.

    Please let us know the results, and we'll be happy to continue troubleshooting.
