Thanks for your suggestion, and I suppose that's always a possibility.
I'm hoping to come up with a cleaner solution that required less maintenance. The more I look though, I'm not sure a cleaner solution exists today.
In some cases, my photos in a single album are by different photographers, and I'd like the watermarks to represent that. I had the bright idea to store the photographer's name in the IPTC Copyright tag, and somehow pull that into the watermark to make a smart watermark. I chased down this road only to realize Adobe doesn't support embedding IPTC tags in watermarks, unless using the "Simple Copyright Watermark", which offers no flexibility when it comes to styling the watermarks.
Next step, I found the LR/Mogrify 2 plugin, which does what I need as far as smart watermarking without compromising style. It works fantastic, but works by adding post-process actions into the export/publish process.
However, after it not working with TTG Publisher, and doing some research on this forum, I found I found this post. It confirms that post-process actions won't function with Publisher, since Publisher generates multiple renditions of the image.
So now I'm back where I started. Has anyone else gone down this road? Is there an obvious solution I'm missing to accomplish my original goal of choosing per-image watermarks instead of per-album watermarks?
