I think it was Harris Black behind that. Didn't much care, still don't. If you put a photo on the internet you lose control of it, it's just that simple. You are so right. I have never really understood why something so self evident seems to come as a surprise or is so upsetting. One just has to accept that once a photo is posted on the internet it becomes available to all to copy. I am not saying morally or possibly even legally that is right but it just happens to be fact. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photograph which I asked Mr DK to run through his software was always going to be a difficult one to remove the watermark. It would not have been too difficult to remove it from the area over the sand, however the area of sea and boats would have been difficult. In fact Mr DK either did not process this one or did not publish his results. As far as the posted pictures, I would say the first photograph of the soup is OK as far as removing the watermark, however it does leave the orange background a little darker. The watermark on the bacon sandwich photograph has been removed however there are very obvious distortions caused to the photograph. The removal of the badge from the Secrets Lady wearing the dark jumper is in my view pretty poor as one can see an area of very dark and then dark stripes where the badge was located. Reomoving the Secrets Logo from the white shirt on the lady is probably the best though it shows evidence of manipulation. The last two photographs can be seen as clearly manipulated. Thanks for trying anyway Mr DK. I had wondered just how good the software was, I dont think it is a case of winning or losing. Thanks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either I completely missed the purpose of the watermarks which would be "prevent" the likes of Harris Black from ripping the picture OR you are trying to pick the white out of the chicken shit.Who the hell cares if the orange background is a little darker? Harris Black would not. Those visiting his Facebook page would not either. I challenge you to find a member of this board (besides yourself) who could give a flying turd. If you want an output that is pristine you need and image that meet several criteria that the image you posted does not. Resolution is beyond poor (3-1,200 dpi). JPEG is piss poor for photo editing. RGB is not preferred and would not be usable for professional printing ... for that you should use YMCK. You cannot make something out of nothing Hope the attached image meet your expectation ... I am sure it will not :) Edited March 19, 2019 by MrDK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, and the fact that you question my "confused" click ! Back to your good old self. 555. Are you offended by phrases such as "white in chicken shit" or "flying turd"? If that is the case I wonder what you will make of me using the phrase "humping rectal cavity" I was basically told that I failed, when I think I met the objective which was to show that HB could easily circumvent the watermarks. The question is how much time is it worth. Most of the images I showed were done in one or two passes using a tolerance of 30px and took less than a minute each. The panoramic took 60-70 passes with a 5px tolerance. Interesting, however, that you can accept me being labeled loser for leaving an orange background a little darker in a low res picture, but you take offence to explaining what can and cannot be done. What is "limit aggressive?" The best I can find is it to mean "curtailing aggressiveness." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 @MrDK, as I mentionned on a previous occasion , arguing just for the sake of it or because you are bored is not the objective of this forum, hence I let you continue your monologue alone.... BTW, I did not even mention the technical aspect of the matter, as I am clueless in this subject, but only the "tone" of your answer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
