@@ContinuedOak Well that's gay.

And that's exactly why watermarks are algorithmically altered in a unique and invisible way. It looks normal and repetitive, but there are small and indistinguishable differences in the watermark shape all over the place. Basically none of the watermark image you see is an exact copy of some another within that image, even if it appears so. That makes it immune to this technique. However even if it doesn't completely get rid of it, you can still use some spot healing brushes to clear any remaining disrutancies. The thing is that that will actually alter the pixels so it's more noticeable.

Watermarks are there to deter you from stealing the image (and to indicate where you can purchase the rights from). Removing the watermarks doesn't give you the right to use the image

Sadly, it only works on semitransparent watermarks with a watermark over an area with a constant value, but still a really useful tip. I guess it can be adapted by using edge detection and making a mask out of that selection if there is no area with a constant value.

Now show it on complex background

To the people saying it's illegal to use copyrighted images, yes obviously, but there are plenty of reasons to do this especially an amateur who isn't publishing their work anywhere.

Yall there's more than one reason you might want to do this than pirating. Using it as a reference photo. Practicing other photoshop skills. Actually taking the watermark off like this isn't illegal. Proceeding to use it in a way that makes you money is. Using it in a way that gets you more exposure isn't illegal, but disingenuous. Make sure to credit the author.
