P: First Export of Session Only - Watermark color of first image is not correct

I use a custom watermark (graphic/png) in LR Classic (12.2.1)
Everytime I export pictures with watermark, the first picture is always wrong. The main colour of my watermark is yellow. The very first pics watermark becomes blue, this happens mostly once per LR session, first export of this session. I already tried to deactivae GPU support for export like mentioned in another thread in this community, but this didn't changed the behaviour.

Correct:

    I am having an issue with watermarks changing colors (previously worked on thousands of photos with no issue). The watermark has consistes of 2 seperated images that were combined into one png in photoshop. One image is red color, the other is an orange gradient.

    In a batch export of 35 photos, this only happened to one of them...?

    How many Cores does your CPU have .... Mine has 10 (not counting hyperthreading ones) and the behaviour randomly seems to be among the first few (<10 images in the series) and for about one to four images

    Images exported from Lightroom (releases on around Feb 2023, ver 12.2 i guess) have some of  the watermark's colour shifted.  (Whites has remained as white, Red appears purplish)
    View 2023-04-18 (4).png for reference  (later updates till April havent't fixed this isue)
    Did get on a chat with the adobe support team which has confirmed the issue (chat transcript is attached)

    Have attached it to help retrace steps / find source of bug


    This is generally restriced to SOME of the first 10 images in the first export done after Lightroom has started/opened.

    Windows, Graphics drivers, Lightroom itself all at latest version (and issue persists), enabling-disabling GPU settings does not help

    I can confirm this on Windows. 

    First image only - first session only - all other images and sessions have correct color of watermark.

    Thanks for your report!
