Hey Guys! I know I dont usually hang out a lot on this side of the forums, but I decided to make a tutorial on the different ways you could remove a watermark from a stock photo

There are many different ways to do this including, photoshop and non-photoshop ways (video included too for the photoshop {made by me} tutorial to guide the noobs and semi-noobs )

There will also be a way to do this with another awesome program which you can see after you hit that like button

 

Hit that Like button

1. Ask Mr. Google :

Now incase if you didnt already know, google is the reason why mankind still exists on this plantet

All you have to do is ask uncle http://google.com "Mr. Google, may I have an un-watermarked version of this picture, and voila there it is

If you are still confused (which u most likely are)

First find the picture you want to remove watermark from.

Then right click on it and hit "save image" and save it wherevert u want [This works on Chrome and Firefox, I dont know about any other browser )

Then go to http://google.com and click on images. Then click the small camera icon next to the search bar. And hit "upload an image"

Select an image to upload, and then hit search... Now browse through the different pages to find a un-watermarked version of the image

 

YOU COULD SIMPLY DO THIS IN CHROME BY RIGHT CLICKING THE PICTURE, AND CLICKING "SEARCH IMAGE ON GOOGLE"

 

Couldnt find it? Move onto step 2

 

2. Download this extension for CHROME https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tineye-reverse-image-sear/haebnnbpedcbhciplfhjjkbafijpncjl

Then find the image you want, and right click it. Then click "search with TinEye"... Now this should load MANY pictures likes your, theres a great chance that you will find the picture you want un-watermarked

IF not, you will find images extremely similar to yours, which you can save by opening and right clicking and hitting "save image"

 

What if you couldn't find it  

Then move to Step 3:)

 

3. Photoshop

Also a good way is to learn how to use clone and stamp tool in photoshop, google it and watch some tutorials [i made a tutorial on this, its just Im having trouble uploading it but if u really wanna learn I reccomend u click that follow button on top of this topic to keep up to date with anything new

Why the hide

 

But nice job

Sorry, will remove Hide

Removing the watermarks is illegal.

But if you find that same image on another website, its not, cuz you just downloaded from a legit website

But yes, this is for educational purpose only... If u wanna use this for like businesses presentations and stuff, then you might as well just buy it, (At-least I wouldn't tho)

LoL, Who cares  

Why the sad face
