Removing an watermark from an image?

Possible?

Easy?

Want to do it for me?

This one

And here is a low res clean version (in case it helps).

I promise the next thread I make will not be asking you to sort out imaging problems for me.

Bit of an arse, but possible. But the notice is there for a reason; do you have the rights to it?

That's a no.

Edit: If it's a bit of an arse, I'd probably say don't bother then. I was hoping someone would say "It is a doddle, and I have a piece of software that will do it in a few seconds."

It is a doddle, and I have a piece of software that will do it in a few seconds.*

* I don't and don't know of a method other than manual retouching. But didn't you feel better for a second there?

As it's semi-transparent there may be a way to adjust the hues on the text to effectively get rid of it, but there'd likely be a lot of manually brushing in detail to stop it looking odd. It could be a small or relatively large task, I couldn't be sure without having a crack at it.

See I did this:

Just cut out a chunk from the thumbnail and laid it over the top. If anyone could do that but better than how I did it, that would be perfectly adequate.

Why not email the rights holder and see if they'll provide a clean copy?

Because they are only offering expensive prints, not "Good enough for facebook".

Leaving the watermark on is probably good enough for Facebook.

No, you need to cover it up like a bad tattoo:

That's even better!

P.S: Kudos, Lewie!

Lewies a lot older than I imagined him.

And a lot more called Kevin.

Those wrinkles and that grimace isn't age - it's the sheer amount of G's Lewie was pulling from his incredible acceleration.

He's sponsored by Kevin of Kevin Industries.

Oh wait, any chance you could give me a version saved as a png. Upon closer inspection there's nasty jpg artifacts.

I think that at the Rain Bar the staff thought Lewie and I were on a gay date until other people arrived.

Who was punching above their weight, though, remains in speculation.

Well since me and Derek have been there this afternoon, they probably definitely think that now.

Also that I am a playa.
