@Cindy-1305 

it's something to do with the offsets I guess.

I suspect most don't understand how it works, including me.

Sorry, when I said have you tried tapping the nodes, I meant the dots on the image. Tapping these frees sliders when mine are locked.

Ahhh, yes, it works with the dots in the picture, but why wasn't the vertical slider locked, but only the horizontal one? Thanks for your help, I would never have figured that out on my own. 🙊

Try tapping different nodes to try to free the sliders.

For each point/ nodes it works but I can't move the horizontal watermark node. 4 weeks ago it works

Hi @Cindy-1305 ! Thank you for reaching out and providing more information about the issue. Unfortunately, this issue is not replicable on our end. As Charlie.D has asked could you please send us a screen recording of the issue and it's results? 

 

Thanks a bunch!

Hello @Cindy-1305 

 

I am not sure I understand the problem you're seeing.  I can't reproduce any problem on the latest app version release, v10.3.1

 

  • Pleasse check that you are updated to the latest release v10.3.1
  • could you share a screen recording showing the problem? How to: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102653 
  • note: before you do the screen recording, it would be great if you could go into Lightroom's App Settings, and at the very bottom of the Input screen please enable "Show Touches" so we can see how you are interacting with the app.

The horizontal watermarks you can't move (it's grey) instead the vertical watermarks are working. Here is the screenshot where you can see the problem

Hello again @Cindy-1305 

As Noel said, we still haven't been able to reproduce this.  I am able to insert a rather large PNG graphic as a watermark on my image and it works fine.

Does the Horizontal position slider work if you switch to Text, or use an different image as a Graphic to insert?  Maybe you can try saving your graphic in a different file format like JPG, or still as a PNG with slightly different encoding values?  If it proves to be the specific PNG file that is the problem, would you mind sharing the file with me?  You can click on my user name to send me a private message.
