Hi, I just exported a bunch of jpgs and PSDs no problem.

SO have you tried the solutions that have worked for others? I am retyping them here:

 

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.

Go to Preferences > Pres

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

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.

Do you mean that LR is closing and exiting abnormally, or are you getting an error message and the Export stops?  If an error message, what is its precise wording?

I tried these two things suggested by AE here and it didn't work, so I created a new watermark and made it invisible by the opacity option, it worked so when I went to export again I unchecked the box and it works just fine.

Hi there, since the update (LR 12) it is no longer possible to export my photos from Lightroom Classic. There is no watermark in the photo – but lightroom says "Watermark issues". So, what can i do? Best, Nadine

Hallo,

nach dem neuesten Update 12.0 auf kann ich leider keine Bilder mehr exportieren, egal welches Format. Hier wird mir dann ein Fenster angezeigt wo steht, Export nicht möglich: Wasserzeichenmarkierung fehlgeschlagen.

Leider verwende ich kein Wasserzeichen, auch wenn ich dort ein Häckchen setzen würde, geht es nicht.

 

Hat jemand hierzu eine Idee?

 

Ich verwende einen MAC Monterey Version 12.6.

  • Merci pour vos réponses, j'ai résolu le problème d'exportation de LR12 suite à la dernière maj de CC en créant un filigrane avec les 2 opacités à 0%. Ça fera l'affaire en attendant le correctif.

@gowthampannala: "it's crashing i.e closes LR window completely not an error dialog box".

 

Hmm, unfortunately, that's the first instance of a crash reported here. 

 

"I have tried all the steps outlined in this post"

 

There are many different workarounds posted here.  Did you try resetting LR's preferences and moving all watermark presets out of the settings folder, as described here:

I just updated my Lightroom Classic and now when I try to export a photo, it says "watermark failed" and will not export the image. I am not even using a watermark. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Were you able to read the correct answers and did these solve your problem? Many others found the same situation and Sameer K's suggestions all worked.
