Photshop / Graphics Help?

[JRS!]

I have an image (see below) and need the FADTOYS watermark taken out.. can anyone assist please. Not going to resell or anything.

Its just a little joke with our geordie neighbours. I've looked all over for the image without the watermark, but cant find it. If anyone can get me this (or a similar image) I would be very grateful

I'm not sure it's legal, watermarks are usually there for a reason.

Check your PMs for an alternative suggestion.

guess that's an good an idea as anything like!

It's illegal for anyone to remove a watermark other than the owner of the image; that is the whole purpose of a watermark, to stop unlicensed reproduction of the image. The person removing the watermark would be the person committing the offence so I imagine you would be unlikely to find anybody to do it for you in the forum even though it is very easy to do. Why not go back to where you sourced the image and pay whatever license fee is due? For a one-off personal use it will almost certainly be royalty free and only a few pounds.

Can you link me to a source for this statement?

Is it actually illegal to remove a watermark / edit a protected image?? Surely it's illegal to use such as image in lots of contexts, but nobody can sue me for making a cutting up an advert in my paper, right?

For private/personal use, no it's not illegal. For private/personal use, who would find out anyway?...

There are also certain provisions under law where you can use copyrighted imagery for 'parody'.
