Introduction of Six Methods of Watermarking in photoshop (1)
First, use the imitation stamp tool to remove the text. This is a common method. The specific operation is to select the imitation stamp tool, hold down the Alt key, click the similar color name pattern in the area without text to sample, and then drag the mouse in the text area to copy and overwrite the text.
It should be noted that the sampling point is the "starting point" of copying. Choosing different brush diameters will affect the drawing range, and different brush hardness will affect the edge fusion effect of the drawing area.
Second, use the repair tool to delete the text
If the background color or pattern of the picture is consistent, it will be more convenient to use the patching tool.
The specific operation is: select the patching tool, select the patching item as "source" in the public column, and turn off the "transparent" option. Then use the repair tool to frame the text, drag it to the position with similar color or pattern in the area without text, and release the mouse to complete the copy.
The repair tool has the function of automatic color matching, and the copying effect is more integrated with the surrounding colors, which is not available in the imitation stamp tool.
Third, use the repair brush tool to delete the text.
The operation method is similar to the imitation stamp tool. Hold down the Alt key, click on a similar color or pattern in the non-text area to sample, and then drag the mouse in the text area to copy the overlay text. Just like the repair tool, the repair brush tool also has the function of automatic color matching, which can be selected as needed.
Fourth, borrowing method.
In some cases, select a similar figure (or pattern) without text, press Ctrl+j to copy it into a new layer, and then use the deformation tool to deform it, so that the text can be directly overwritten, which is faster.
Fifthly, the vanishing point filtering method is applied.
For some pictures with strong perspective effect (such as floor), vanishing point filter can be applied for processing.
The operation method in the legend is to select the text area to be processed (to prevent the part beyond the selection from being overwritten), and execute the menu command: Filter-Vanishing Point to enter the vanishing point filter editing interface.
1. Select the Create Panel tool in the toolbar on the left, and start from the intersection point of the joint of the floor tile and point four points in turn along the crack to form a rectangle with perspective effect.

2. Select the stamp tool in the left toolbar, hold down the Alt key and click to select the source image point. When the green cross turns red, drag it in the text area to complete the copy.
6.Ctrl+Alt+ Arrow keys
There is a convenient way to remove text from icons with vertical gradient colors in some background colors.
Methods: Use the long box selection tool to select in the area without text. The selection should not be too wide, and the height should be higher than the text. Then hold down Ctrl+Alt+ arrow keys until the text is completely covered.
