P: Lightroom Classic 12.2 Watermark being incorrectly positioned on Export

Overnight and since installing Lightroom Classic 12.2 watermark is being incorrectly located on export. On preview before export the watermark is correctly positioned and clipped at the top. After export, the watermark has moved significantly vertically and is ruining the image. Everything was fine before running the update. Running LRC on MacBook Air with MacOS Ventura 13.1

Here to say "Samesies" - I am having the same issue as well, zero has changed (I wrote my settings down when I created my watermarks) and having the exact same problem.

Having the same problem as well. Since the last update, the watermarks have shifted vertically upwards and remain too high even when I try to edit and adjust downwards. Have also tried to create a new watermark by uploading from the original file but with the same result when the image is exported. Am using graphic watermarks. They also do not appear in the same location on the exported file as on the preview as others have already noted. Would appreciate a fix. Thanks.

I also reported exact same issue here:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/exporting-with-watermark-vertical-inset-doesn-t-work-correctly-watermark-shows-up-higher/idi-p/13593246#M40883


OS: Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1

Software: Lightroom Classic 12.2

After update to lightroom classic 12.2, my export of images has not been working correctly with regard to it being not able to correctly align the logo. To be specific, the "Inset" .. in my case  vertical inset is not factored when exporting photo. My vertical inset is at -4 thereby aligning the logo image exactly at the bottom right corner. However logo image gets embedded higher up and not at the corner. The logo image editor however shows as if logo image was aligned at inset -4 as I intended. This has been reported by other members too .. at this link:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-watermark-being-incorrectly-positioned-on-export/m-p/13585708/highlight/true

 

I am also attaching photos of 

- my export dialog

- my image editor dialog so that you see that logo image is indeed showing up to be aligned where it is supposed to be

- actual exported image which shows logo aligned incorrectly at a vertical coordinate much higher than the bottom right corner.

Please fix this issue ASAP!!

After the update the watermarks have shifted from their usual location in the exported photos. It appears the vertical inset is no longer being taken into account and so the watermark appears vertically shifted. These watermarks and locations (insets etc) have been worked out from before and have been working flawlessly so far. Please fix this at the earliest since I use this feature with all my exports.

@CyberShoggy @CodeTHR33  We're looking for more information on this. 

Send me the following via direct message.

 

  • Go to Help in LrC > System info > copy & paste in a text document. 
  • If you're using any export/watermark presets, send them over and specify if these are graphic or text watermarks. 

 

Waiting to hear from you. Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem. Was working perfectly before the new update.

Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Are you using presets for export using a watermark preset? Does this happen with all images?

 

Share a screenshot of your export settings. Try these steps:

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Thank you Sameer

Changing the Graphic Processor settings had no effect

Screenshot of Export settings attached

I have created a new preset and it behaves exactly the same. It's in the wrong place on the export compared to the preview in Edit Watermarks
