Watermarks in digital images are semi-transparent labels usually identifying a copyright holder of that image. Sometimes retouching a watermark is a last resort you have to get a photo or a picture back into its natural state. This could come in handy, for instance, if you lost the original image and only have a copy with a watermark on it. So, how would you do this? Normally, you would open a picture editor and scrupulously paint the label out pixel by pixel. Hours and hours of monotonous and boresome work!

 

Or you can do the same trick with Inpaint in merely few minutes! So, here is how you can remove a watermark from an image in 3 simple steps:

 

Step 1: Open the photo with a watermark in Inpaint.

Step 1: Load the watermarked image into Inpaint.

Step 2: Use the Marker tool to select a watermark area.

Switch to the Marker tool on the toolbar and select the watermark area. Note that you can adjust the precise size of the marker for fine selection. You can also apply the Magic Wand tool to select a watermark area with one click – this works best with one-color opaque watermarks or logos.

Step 2: Mark the watermark which you want to erase.

Step 3: Run the restoration process

Finally, run the restoration process. Inpaint will process the image and will remove the watermark from it.
