Hello fellow choppers,
I am new to this site and new to photoshop.
My first question is, does anyone know the legality's of taking an image with a watermark on it, changing it with photoshop and removing the watermark?
Granted, I know that the watermark is there to prevent a picture as being claimed by someone else. However if that picture is changed and no longer the original, is it then fair game to remove the watermark?
Any help would be appreciated. I am not trying to do anything sneaky, just trying to resolve an issue between friends.
Thanks, |

Well.... If some one took one of my photos and stripped it I would not be very happy. With the hint of new copy right laws in the future who ever has the original in hand owns the copyright so if you strip a low res image you can very easily be sued. Also with professionals they embed their copy right info into the file its self and from my understanding its impossible to get rid of that. If I were you I wouldnt strip images just ask the person if you can have a low res with out a watermark. Im sure they would be happy to give that to ya. Just Please dont strip images its a pretty low thing to do. |
