Hello,
I've been using the same watermark image for over a year now.
It always comes out looking crisp.
Today I went through my usual procedure of selecting a watermark image to go an export in JPG format.
When I click on the gear icon to go to watermark settings and select the png I want to use for the watermark, the watermark looks crisp and clear, as usual.
When I click "done" after selecting the watermark, I am taken back to the preview of the export.
The watermark is blurry and pixelated.
If I go ahead and click export, my image shows the blurry, pixelated watermark.

Why is it doing this? How do I fix this?
I've tried:
Updating Creative Cloud
Updating Lightroom
Quitting Lightroom and restarting multiple times
Waiting
Again I must emphasize: the PNG itself is not blurry, and it shows crisp when I'm inside the settings to select the watermark image itself. It also worked perfectly until today with all the same settings in place.
I looked online and the only other info I can find is about fonts not working well for exports. I am not using a font, but a high-quality PNG image.
Settings are:
File type: JPG
Dimensions: Full Size
Quality: 100%
Include watermark: checked
All metadata
File naming: original
Output sharpening: none
Colorspace: sRGB
Version of the app: 5.3
On a MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
Thank you for your help
