Title: Stockpicture? :-)
Post by: tinysucker on July 25, 2006, 12:51:05 PM
Did anyone notice that the logo on this board (the blue cubes in the upper-left corner) has a "Stockpicture" watermark in it? :-P Just wondering... :-D

Maybe the admin can send me the original (larger) picture, I think I'll be able to Photoshop it away. :-X

I think you'll find that the admin here is pretty capable of doing that himself. However, I looks to me like it says Bloczone and not stockpicture.

you see "k" after "c" which means it isn't Bloczone

well it says Bloc then the Z is tilted

but it definately dosent say pictures

save the pic and 'invert' it..so that it becomes a negative - u can make out the white areas better that way

It either says Block something

OR

Bloc with a tilted Z

lol i was just kidding

the only way i know is to try 2 tactics and hope like hell they work....

they usually work for graphics which are somewhat uniform

method one: Blur it out making sure u blend colors so it looks like its part of the graphic

method two: use th rubber stamp to clone part of the image

usually those work for me

they don't work for huge watermarks

well i doubt that taking huge watermarks off would be possible anyways unless someone is willing to spend their entire life on one image :P
