Lightroom Classic: Please add a function to add image watermark 1:1 with no loss of quality and resolution
exporting pictures with a PNG watermark to the exact ratio of 1:1 is impossible! that mean loss of resolution and quality of the watermark I believe this is a BASIC function. Also the border distance trim for the image watermark, have too big steps... thanks

I'm using a PNG watermark exporting pictures, all at same resolution(1280px wide), I mean that I have to found the exact ratio to have the PNG superimposed at the exact 1:1 size of the watermark that is 405x58px, otherwise, I have found this ratio that related to the size pict and the PNG size match to 14.
Now the point is that in any case the watermark appear not in focus... It's like the resolution and quality of the watermark get loss, also if not a big loss, it's enough to make appear the watermark degraded... and not sharp.

With PS I have simply added the PNG transparent watermark layer up to the image without modify anything, than saved with web save at hi quality JPG.
With LR I din't have done nothing of particular just modified the ration on 14 to obtain the size that go much close to the 1:1 ratio of the watermark up the picture, so to go close to the PSE result.
I attach the screen shot.

I believe a basic function like this should work properly... considering also that PSE doesn't add automatically the watermark in PNG but only some writings...
What exactly I need for my website galley is modify a group of picture on this criteria:
resize them with Long Side to 1280 (OK)
rename than in a new order (OK)
add watermark without loss of quality (FIX)
and with this lightroom bug at the moment I have to use 2 programs to do that...
if you want to give a look to the galleries gtevoluzione.it
thanks again

Please let me know

To solve this, LR needs a new option for Size.. "Fixed"
My situation isn't covered by any of the above "workarounds".. My output files are different sizes (some landscape, some portrait, some really wide, ...) and the scaling options all work differently it seems..
I've been supplied with a 150x150 png, and I'm required to have a logo in the lower right 10 px in which is exactly 75x75.. This should be incredibly easy (and is in Aperture by the way) as it requires nothing fancy that's photo specific.
I can and will resize down to 75x75 for input.. right now I have to have the 150x to deal with the scaling in LR5 to get it close enough.. Client isn't happy, but is tech savvy enough to understand the problem is actually a LR limitation (his other photogs don't have as they're using Aperture)
The new "Fixed" option won't break anyone with existing settings.. and will make all of the people above happy.. Why fight adding this?
