How to Eliminate Watermark with photoshop

Practical skills of removing characters from pictures with photoshop

1. Use the Copy Stamp tool to delete text.

This is a common method. The specific operation is to select the imitation stamp tool, hold down the Alt key, and click on similar colors or patterns in areas without words to sample.

Then drag the mouse in the text area to copy the overlay text.

It should be noted that the sampling point is the starting point of copying. Choosing different brush diameters will affect the drawing range, and different brush hardness will affect the drawing.

Edge fusion effect of region:

2. Use the patching tool to delete the text.

If the background color or pattern of the picture is consistent, it will be more convenient to use the patching tool.

The specific operation is to select the patching tool, select the patching item as "source" in the public column, and turn off the "transparent" option. Then use the patching tool to select the text,

Drag to the position with similar color or pattern in the area without text, and release the mouse to complete the copy.

The patching tool has the function of automatic color matching, and the copied effect is more integrated with the surrounding colors, which is not available in the imitation stamp tool.

3. Use the Repair Brush tool to remove the text.

The operation method is similar to the imitation stamp tool. Hold down the Alt key, click a similar color or pattern in the area without text, and then sample in the text area.

Drag the mouse to copy the overlay text. Just like the repair tool, the repair brush tool also has the function of automatic color matching, which can be used as needed.

4. In some cases, select a similar figure (or pattern) without text, press Ctrl+j to copy it to a new layer, and then use the deformation tool to deform it, so that it can be directly used to cover the text.

5. For some pictures with strong perspective effect (such as floor), vanishing point filter can be applied for processing.

The operation method in the legend is to frame the text area to be processed and execute the menu command (to prevent the part outside the selection from being covered).

Command: filter → vanishing point to enter the vanishing point filter editing interface. Then:

(1) Select the Create Panel tool in the toolbar on the left, and click four points in turn along the seam of the floor tile from the intersection point to connect them.

Rectangle with perspective effect. Then drag its edge to the lower right so that the panel completely covers the text.

⑵ Select the stamp tool in the toolbar on the left, hold down the Alt key, and click to select the source image point. After the green cross turns red, drag in the text area to complete the copy.

6. For some icons whose background color is vertical gradient color, there is a convenient way to remove the text.

The method is to use the rectangular box selection tool to select in the area without text. The selection should not be too wide, and the height should be higher than the text. Then hold down the Ctrl+Alt key and press the arrow keys (→ or ←) continuously until the text is completely covered.

Super watermarking technique

As shown in the figure below, what we need to do is to remove the translucent layer (a large and complicated watermark) and restore the original appearance of the basemap. (Note: The operations of the following layers are actually the operations of RGB values)

It's like walking from one place to another. We need to go back. The safest and most reliable way is to go back along the original road. Let's see how we got here first! Opacity mixing principle: the overlay layer is mixed with the base map with the opacity of X%, and the obtained mixed map is equal to the overlay layer multiplied by X%, and the base map multiplied by (1-X%).

How to get back is self-evident: the base map is equal to the mixed map minus the overlay multiplied by x% and then divided by (1-X%), but we can only find the original map of the overlay, and I don't know how opaque it is. It doesn't matter what we do, we will find out the opacity later.

Drag the original image of the overlay layer (layer 1), align it completely with the watermark on the image, put it below, and set the blending mode of the upper layer (layer 0) to poor.

It's horrible, something is missing! By the way, the effect of opacity has not been added, and the layer 1 has to be multiplied by X%. There are at least two ways to do this, that is, to output the brightness or hue saturation in the color scale (if you are familiar with color theory and these two adjustment tools, you should know why). Move the slider on the right side of the output color standard slowly to the left, and the watermark will fade slowly until it disappears. Stop. This is 166, now I know, the original opacity x% is 166/255, which is 65%!

Now it's simple! We just need to divide the watermark by (1-65%) to restore the original appearance, and add a tone adjustment layer at the top, but change it to the input tone. Now that we know the opacity, we can directly enter 255*( 1-65%)=89.

You're finished. The rest are stamps.

To sum up, what have we got in this process:

1. Reverse thinking is the same as my post about military color adjustment, but this is more accurate!

The mixing principle of opacity seems to be rarely mentioned.

3. Flexible application of layer blending mode.

3. A deep understanding of color scale (if you think hard)

Techniques of Removing Translucent Watermark in Photoshop

Friends who often use photoshop know that when looking for materials, some photo stations always put watermarks in key places, some can be modified with imitation stamps, but some translucent watermarks are not easy to use with imitation stamps. Now I'll introduce a simple method for your reference, but be careful when modifying it, or respect their copyright! Look at the original picture and the renderings first. As shown in figure 1.

There is a translucent letter "P" watermark in the original picture, so the imitation stamp is not easy to use. The author's four-step method is:

A: Mat.

Adjust the layer blending mode

C: adjust the color scale

D: daubing tool+imitation seal.

A: Mat.

First, use the pen tool or polygonal lasso tool to deduct the translucent watermark of the word "P", and CTRL+J creates a new layer. As shown in figure 2.

Figure 2

B: Change the mixing mode of shear layer to "linear deepening". As shown in figure 3.

Figure 3

C: Click on the layer that has just been adjusted to "linear deepening" and execute menu-image-adjustment-color scale until the color of the semi-transparent watermark part is consistent with other places. As shown in figure 4.

Figure 4

D: Because the layers processed by the layer blending mode can't be merged, to do this, first save the picture in JPG format, then open it with PS, and then smear the seam between the two layers with a smear tool, which should be made of imitation stamps. As shown in fig. 5.

Part of the face method as above.

Removing the translucent watermark is as simple as that. Find a picture and practice quickly!

4 cases (1)Photoshop's "brush" tool removed the image watermark or text.

Let's get familiar with the related tools first:

Figure 1 These three tools are all related to "removing words". Remember where they are in the toolbox.

In order to clarify the method of "removing words", let's first look at a simple example:

Figure 2 This is a part of a picture.

Now let's assume that Figure 7 is a Zhang Lan paper with so many faint white characters on it. Now I'll erase the words on the paper for you with brushes of various colors. What would you do?

Clever, you will definitely think of choosing the same blue as paper first, and then dip this blue with a brush and smear it on the words until the white words are completely covered.

That's right. That's what you should do!

Using brush tool to remove text in Photoshop is very similar to this! Just "select" the desired color, and then you can paint the word with a brush without dipping it in any color.

Now there are two problems:

1, how to "select" the color?

2. Why can you draw calligraphy and painting directly with a brush without dipping in the color after color selection?

Let's start with the first question. Isn't there a "straw tool" in Figure 6? It is specially used to "select" colors. The usage is very simple, as long as you use it to "point" the color you need in the image, you have completed the task of "selecting" the color!

Its tool property bar is also very simple, as shown in Figure 7:

Figure 3 Tool Property Bar of "Pipette"

Sample Size is used to set the size of sampling points, including:

"Sampling point": the color of the sampling point is the selected color;

"3 × 3 average": take the 3 × 3 pixel area as the sampling range and absorb its color average;

"5 × 5 average": take the pixel area of 5 × 5 as the sampling range and absorb its color average.

In practice, we just use the default value ("sampling point").

The second question: The color originally sampled with the eyedropper tool will appear in the "Set Foreground" box in the toolbox. Suppose the original foreground color is red, and the color you sampled with the straw tool is blue, then the foreground color will become blue instead of red!

In other words, the eyedropper tool is used to select the foreground color from the current image! Please remember. (If it is matched with Alt key, choose the background color, which is rarely used, and you don't have to remember it deliberately. )

Interestingly, the color used by the brush tool is exactly the foreground color! In other words, when you choose a color with the eyedropper tool, if you choose blue, it is equivalent to "dipping" the brush tool with blue, and it can start "working" with blue!

Therefore, we don't need to dip the brush into any color!

The above contents are summarized as follows with schematic diagram:

Fig. 4 schematic diagram of brush tool removing text

Now, can you sum up the process of "removing words" into two steps?

① Sampling with a straw tool; ② Brush the handwriting with a brush. Is it simple?

Below, let's look at a few examples to study how to sample.

Example 1:

Figure 5 A picture entitled Sunrise released by Xinhua News Agency.

Fig. 4 is a part of the above picture. The hue of the blue "ground" is relatively simple, and sampling at ① is enough.

Fig. 7 effect diagram

Example 2:

In Figure 8, there are two colors under the words. How to sample?

Fig. 9 Sampling at ①, removing the word "star" and its lower left; Take a sample at ② and remove the remaining handwriting.

Figure 10 renderings

Example 3:

Figure 1 1 Take only three samples: take samples at ① and remove "CN"; ② Sampling to eliminate "SPHO"; Take a sample at ③ and remove "to"

Figure 12 renderings

Example 4:

Figure 13 This figure is difficult to erase and needs to be handled carefully. There are two main difficulties. One is that the color of the letter A is complicated, and the other is that the upper part of the letter INH is on the frame of the certificate worn by Pu Cunxin. There are roughly the following sampling points: ① and ② are used to remove "A"; ③ Used to remove the right half of the letter U; ④ The color of the certificate is used to eliminate the upper part of the letter in; ⑤ Used to remove the left half of most letters X, INH and U; 6. The color of the certificate box is used to complete the certificate box.

Here is a common question that needs to be said. What's under the letter A? You can only analyze it according to what is displayed on the screen, and how to deal with it depends on your imagination. Fortunately, the word we are going to is in a very inconspicuous corner. As long as you handle it harmoniously with the nearby images, "like that" will do!

Let's talk about the selection and use of brushes.

Figure 15 "brush" in the tool property bar and two basic types of brushes. When a word is deleted, both "Mode" and "Flow" in the tool property bar remain as default values. How can I choose the right brush?

Figure 16 Click on the small triangle indicated by the arrow, and the "Brush Preset" selector shown below will pop up.

Figure 17 "brush preset" selector, where we can choose an ordinary brush (sharp angle or soft angle, large diameter). If you don't have the main diameter you need, for example, if you want to use a brush with a soft angle of 15 pixels, which is not available on the table, you can drag the slider of "main diameter" to set it.

For beginners, this chart is difficult to understand in some places. For example, what is the difference between the three sharp brushes in the fourth row with main diameters of 9, 13 and 19 pixels and those in the first row? What's the difference between the three soft-angle brushes with the main diameter of17,45,65 pixels in the fourth row and the second and third rows? You can't see it on the surface. If you really want to know, click the small triangle indicated by the arrow in figure 18, and the drop-down menu as shown in the figure below will pop up:

Figure 18

Click the "small list" in the third part (the display mode of brushes), and the brushes will switch to another display mode:

Figure 19 "small list" display mode of brush

Corresponding to Figure 2 1 1. You may wish to compare, and the above problems will disappear!

If you click "Stroke Thumbnail" in the drop-down menu, another display mode that you may be very familiar with will appear:

Fig. 20 Thumbnail of strokes (1) (part of tip brush). Drag the scroll bar and the brush will gradually appear.

Figure 2 1 Stroke Thumbnail (2) (Part of Soft Angle Brush)

So how to use a brush when removing text?

1, where the boundary is blurred, you should use a soft angle brush:

Figure 22 (Please refer to Figure 8)

2. When the colors under the characters seem to be single in tone, but actually slightly different, you should use a soft-angle brush:

Figure 23

3, clear boundaries, appropriate uses a sharp brush:

Figure 24 (Please refer to Figure 1 1)

The size of the brush diameter depends on the actual situation of the picture.

Figure 25 should use a brush with a smaller diameter.

Figure 24 should also use a brush with a smaller diameter.

Figure 22 should use a medium diameter brush.

Figure 23 A brush with a larger diameter should be used.

When drawing with a brush, you must be patient and meticulous, not impatient. If any step is unsatisfactory, you should go back to the previous step on the history palette and start again. Remember, the history palette is a good friend you can't live without for a moment!
