Thanks for sharing the inputs.

 

Ensure there are no stale preferences in Lightroom. Reset Lightroom Classic's preferences by following the steps in this article (I prefer using method 2): https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

 

If the issue exists, please go to the following location & back up your Watermark presets.

Thanks to @johnrellis - Go to Preferences > Presets and click Show All Other Lightroom Presets. That will open Finder / File Explorer in

Lightroom 12.0.1 was released today and contains a fix for this issue. Please refresh your Adobe Creative Cloud App ([Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ]) and download the updated version.

 

Thank you for your patience.

I'm grateful for all the advice on this thread. However, the approach that worked best for me was to uninstall this version of LC and revert back to one that could actually accomplish a basic, simple task without wasting time and energy. Adobe, please: if something works, just leave it alone.

Here's the way I fixed the issue:

In the export panel check the watermark selection > select "edit watermarks" in the dropdown > choose (dropdown arrow) > click on one of your existing watermarks or choose an image for your watermark, select done.

Then you can uncheck the watermark selection in the export panel and it should now work normally.

The updates are outstanding and absolutely worth the minor inconvenience it takes to fix the problem until Adobe corrects it. They can't possibly ensure it will work flawlessly on thousands of different computer configurations. They will work on fixing the issue that some people have. Wait if you want, or take a few steps to fix it on your end.

Bonjour, depuis peu ma signature ne s'applique plus sur mes photos à l'exportation...

Cela focntionne lorsque j'y applique du texte mais si j'y applique (comme je l'ai pourtant toujours fait) une image png (comme ma signature) elle apparaît bien dans l'aperçu lorsque je modifie le fliligrane mais une fois la photo exportée elle est vierge.

So true - and the funny partis this watermarking problem does not affect every single user! I personally have not yet had the problem!

Depuis l'installation de la dernière version de LRC sur mac, je n'arrive plus à exporter/ Un message d'erreur fait référence à un filigrane que je n'utilise pas

I found a quick solve today when I had this problem in LR Classic. I went ahead and made a watermark that was 0% opacity and text. Then on export, I turned on the watermark and selected the one I created. It exported fine. Then I turned it off and it exported fine with no error code. Hopefully this helps!

Found this video on a temporary bug fix - after you do it make sure you select the new watermark when exporting

Lors de l'export de mes photos, le message d'erreur suivant s'affiche et m'empêche de les exporter.

Même lorsque je ne coche pas la case filigrane dans les paramètres d'export, le message s'affiche...

Après désinstallation et réinstallation du logiciel, le problème persiste et rend donc son utilisation impossible...

 

Je suis sous macOS Monterey version 12.6  et Lightroom Classic version 12.0

Create a new EMPTY Watersign and use it... it will work then.

 

The problem will be solved in the next update

This did not have any affect on the problem. No watermark is being applied to render this error

One work around I found was to edit my images, save their metadata, import them into Photoshop's ACR and export from there. I will try the 0% watermark workaround as well

Bonjour, 

J'ai exactement le même problème depuis hier et ça, depuis la nouvelle mise à jour. 

J'ai contacté l'assistance qui est censée revenir vers moi par email. Je ferai un retour ici dès que j'ai des nouvelles qui j'espère, seront rapide.

Autant dire que c'est compliqué de ne pas pouvoir exporter ses photos traitées alors que c'est notre métier et qu'on doit tenir des deadline.

Yes, just delete your watermark(s) in the preferences like Sameer instructs, close LC, restart it, try exporting again...worked for me!

Ich kann zur Zeit keine Fotos aus Lightroom exportieren. Ich bekomme immer die Meldung " Export nicht möglich, Wasserzeichemarkierung fehlgeschlagen" Ich nutze keine Wasserzeichen.

Ich arbeite mit der aktuellen Version 12.0

Bonjour,
La réponse à ce problème se trouve dans le billet de la communauté. Il faut
supprimer un fichier et c'est bien expliqué. Passez en revue l'ensemble du
