"delete" WaterMark

Post by Fabio »

Hello everyone,

I have a huge problem, I need to know the best way to "remove" as good as possible a text watermark from a large group of images, in order to replace it with a new one. Due to the large number of images I would need to do it through scripting and I was thinking to do it via ImageMagick, but I am not an expert in the subject.

Any suggestion is really really welcomed.

Thanks

It is possible, but only if we know exactly how it was watermarked. There are a number of ways it could have been watermarked.

Also if the watermark completely destroyed the original image data (was opaque, though it does not seem to be) then of course the original data can not be restored.

Finally how can we know you are actually with that company that watermarked in the first place. If you were that company, it would seem to me that they would have kept the original images in the first place. Water marked images are generally only used for the exported display on web sites.
