Step by Step : How To Remove Watermark in Photoshop using Content Aware Fill.
The fastest way to make unwanted watermarks items disappear from your image is to use the Content-Aware Fill. This method works great if your unwanted object is surrounded by the same color.
Step-1: Open The Image
Open an image with a watermark in Photoshop to remove the watermark. See the image below. We will also remove the unwanted object marks and watermarks.
Step-2: Duplicate layer for backup
Select the image and right-click (Ctrl+J) to duplicate the layer in the Layers panel at the bottom right. You can also make a copy of the source image for the backup in your hard drive folder for backup, so you don’t need to duplicate the layer. We’re doing this to make sure you have a backup to restore when you make irreversible changes to the source photo. Any changes must be made to the copy. And when you remove the watermark from the image copy, save it as a new image.
Step-3: Select Watermarks
Take a selection tool to remove watermark marks on your first attempt. Here, we are taking the rectangular marquee tool, Lasso tool, or Magic Wand tool to select one of the ‘watermarks’.
