I can't export my picture anymore, my pictures have no watermark. Here is the message:

Unable to export watermarking failed.

This happen after new version of oct 2022

Hi, I have deleted my watermarks.

Bonjour, je viens de mettre à jour CC et après avoir importé des photos sur Lightroom classic, je n'arrive pas à les exporter, le message 'Echec du filigrane' apparait. Avez vous eu ce problème et comment l'avez-vous résolu? Pas de problème de mémoire ou de taille de disque sur mon PC...

[skin_mf]

Quick fix (because I really needed too get my exports done):
1. Create a new watermark.
2. Text-only, set the opacity to zero.
3. Export with your new blank watermark.

I haven't tried deleting all my old watermarks yet.

Hi, I have updated my LRC Catalog to V12. 3 hours ago. I am aware of many complaints about this strange Bug, also posted on Lightroom Israel Facebook page. I sent forth the suggestion from Adobe to bypass this problem by creating an empty watermark. The only question I have is why do I NOT have this BUG when I export? I have exported with and without the watermark option checked. I have exported multiple images with and without an export preset. I cannot see any sign of this bug on my Desktop Windows. This does not make sense. Either the bug appears in a particular setting that I cannot recreate or it chooses it's victims selectively...mmm....

I just upgraded Lighroom Clasic, when I try to export I get a watermark error, watermark check box not checked.

I have resolved another watermark issue for a colleague: He checked the Watermark option to use his graphic PNG signature and was unable to export. The images for his watermarks were located in the very same folder on D. I redefined these watermark by editing the SIMPLE WATERMARK, saved a whole set of 4 watermarks (Left/Right/Black/White) and now the export with the new set of graphic watermarks works OK. It was not possible at all to edit the previous watermark - all the options were greyed out and inactive!!!!

After installing LrC 2023, I have a problem I don’t know the solution to. When I want to export photos to 4 different folders (each time the same photo with different resolution, 2 of them with watermark); I get following message: “Can't export, watermark not added”. However, this function is checked. I also get the same message if I want to export only the 2 photos without watermark. What is going wrong?

It seems that Graphic Watermarks that have NOT been moved, deleted or renamed cannot be retrieved in the Export Process. They only way I managed to add a watermark using them was to redefine them from scratch by editing the default SIMPLE WATERMARK in the watermarks puldown list...This is in addition to the NO-Watermark Export Bug which currently can be overcomed by using a blank or 0% opacity watermark.

Type something in watermark. Export once and then remove watermark. It will work 

[Photovit]

This Solution By skin mf  is the same solution that I used for Non Watermarked images: 
1. Create a new watermark.
2. Text-only, set the opacity to zero.
3. Export with your new blank watermark.
But for those instances when I did want to actually use a watermark - I had to recreate them from scratch by first editing the Simple Watermark default option. I had no problems after this.

Depuis mon passage a la derniere version de Lightroom Classique V.12 je ne peux plus exporter mes photos! J'ai a la place un encart blanc ou il est marqué "impossible d'exporter : echec du filigrane"....

Une solution?

Hi Guys,

I just open my LRC and tried to export using "Publish Services" and I am getting the error message!

I am not watermarking my pics!?!

LRC12 | RAW15.0 | OS MONTEREY12.5

It seems it had been updated and I have no issue if I export "manually". I tried to create a new Publishing Seervice and same bug!

Any solutions for that?

Much appreciated

David

"I just open my LRC and tried to export using "Publish Services" and I am getting the error message!"

See the correct answer at the top of this thread.

[John R Ellis]

"It seems that Graphic Watermarks that have NOT been moved, deleted or renamed cannot be retrieved in the Export Process."

Which is why the answer marked correct recommends moving all watermarks out of the Watermarks settings folder.

Hi, ich hoffe, dass Ihr mir helfen könnt. Habe gerade auf die neue Version von Lightroom Classic aktualisiert. Jetzt funktioniert der Bilderexport nicht mehr. Stets heißt es "Wasserzeichenmarkierung fehlgeschlagen" - dabei exportiere ich gar nicht mit Wasserzeichen. Bräuchte dringend Hilfe. Lieben Dank im Voraus.

Export once with some watermark and delete thereafter. From then on the
message will not appear and you can export
