P: Graphical & Image Based Watermarks on images

When outputting any image from Lightroom mobile directly to any service, the image needs to have, at minimum, a © NAME simple watermark placed upon it. I don't think we need full functionality of the Watermark editor in Lightroom desktop but we do need the minimum functionality of the Simple Watermark in Lightroom's Export dialog. Until there is a way to mark an image, why would anyone consider using LR mobile to post anywhere?

NOTE: The original post was a request for a simple, text based watermark which has been implemented. This thread will continue to be the place to vote for image based watermarks.

Edit: 1/21/2020 - This thread has been changed to represent all three of the Lightroom Ecosystem Clients (Desktop, Web, and Mobile)

Edit: 5/15/2020 - This thread has been updated to include information on new functionalities. Please see the official post below.

Is that desktop or mobile? My screenshot is mobile app. But I got a notification of “what’s new” and it says v6.0 mobile app includes watermark. Maybe they are doing the update in waves. It has not reached me as if yet. I’m in the US. Not sure if that matters lol but, we shall see 🙏

My apologies, I was looking on desktop. I see the same on mobile (Android) and I don't see the graphic option either.

Here's what my desktop LR looks like with the graphic.

The graphic watermark is v6.0. Check your current version. It may not have updated to you yet. I just checked mine and I’m still on the previous version. Hope this helps

And I checked on my laptop too, there is a gear there, but no option for a graphic.

Chris, I just looked on LR on my iPhone, and still only see the text option, no gear. See screen shot.

@Rikk

Can you please post a screenshot? This update may not be available in Canada yet but as of now I still only see the options for the text watermark as an option.
