Watermarking issues with AEM 6.5

[#1]

Dear all,

We added a watermarking step in the default DAM Update WF, as per https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-65/assets/administer/watermarking.html.

Expected:

When I select the position of the watermark, it reflects on the watermark rendering after the asset is processed.

I can also choose the font for the watermark.

Actual:

Watermark is always placed on top left, error.log output confirms that TOP_LEFT is the position always passed in the processing.

I cannot choose a font for the watermark.

Reason for watermark position issue:

Markup of dialog is wrong, see below:

Current workaround:

Manually change TOP_LEFT to e.g. BOTTOM_RIGHT in the WF model metadata node,  via CRXDE.

Any ideas around this? Didn't see any SP fixes around this so far.

I just tested it on 6.5.5 and works with all orientations(Center,Top Right etc). Make sure you are placing the watermarking step before Process Thumbnail step. Try adding a DEBUG logger on "com.day.cq.dam.core.process.WaterMarkProcess" or more details

Hi jbrar, thanks for your reply; can you try using bottom left or bottom right placement for the watermark? The screenshot containing wrong dropdown values comes from a AEM 6.5.5 instance. Also, do you have any feedback on the fonts (empty dropdown, no selection possible) issue?
