help with image...need to remove something done to it in paint

Xycron · 12-01-2005, 01:43 AM

OK so there is this picture, and there is a part that was drawn over with that loks like paint. I want to remove it so i can see whats under it.

I think it can be done because if i look in it with the folder in thumbnail view whre it shows a mini scale of the pictue in the icon, its not there, so basicly i want it like that but normal size...Anyone know how i can do this? i have photoshop CS2 by the way.

Perhaps using the eyedropper tool and a LOT of patience you can match the colors.

so you mean like sit there and replace pixel by pixel? i dont know whats behide it soo that wont work.

No, you take the colors around it and kind of merge the image together. It would work unless that marks are really huge. Post a link to the messed up picture so we can see how bad it is.

its not huge, but its to big for that. also i'm not going to post it, dont ask why, and NO its not porn or anything lol.

OK, I understand. There's gotta be some way in photoshop.. I mean, that thing does EVERYTHING with pictures... hmmmmm...

i didn't know if it could be done before, but the fact that the thumbail picture shows the picture WITHOUT it has got to mean there is some way...

This is why watermarks are used, they cannot be easily removed, or removed at all. I don't think it can be done unless you have a copy of the original. If this isn't your picture...you shouldn't be editing it anyways

Its not a copyrighting picture and its no watermark, its a photo taken with a digital camera that someone jacked up... They made a big red heart over part of the picture and its colored in badly lol I dont know why it doexsn;t show up on the thumbnail thats the odd part.
