Yes. Thank you for responding. I just discovered that the external hardrive that has my watermark files on it was unplugged. *rookie mistake*

If your Lightroom is up to date, and your are still having problems, here are two steps to try:

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.

Go to Preferences > Presets and click Show All Other Lightroom Presets.

That will open Finder / File Explorer in the "Lightroom" settings folder.

The "Watermarks" subfolder contains all the presets (.lrtemplate files). 

Move them to your desktop and restart Lightroom Classic.

Hello. First have you updated Lightroom Classic?

 

And what are your operating system and version of Lightroom?

Watermarks - both text and graphic - have been working just fine for quite a while now. You might need to recreate your watermark definitions.

I only know tips for this issue on Mac... And on Mac, I would recommend uninstalling, Clearing all Adobe cache, restarting and then reinstalling. I dont know for PC!

Win 10.

Latest cc update.

It's been reoccurring so requires Adobe intervention.

Reinstall uninstall over and over does not help.

Ok so now please tell us your operating system, which version of CC, and any details that might help one of us help you sort this.  If you are subscribed to the CC, you really do not need Adobe to help you uninstall and reinstall remotely. You can easily do it yourself. One of the things I do when doing this on a Mac is to log out after uninstalling and turn the computer off. Then start the computer and download the Creative Cloud Installer, then download my software. So are you Mac or PC, and which OS?
