    Does anyone know if there's anyway to easily do this? I've seen quite a few really nice wallpapers that I'd like to add to my rotation, but that have a "watermark" on them. Mind you, I don't want to remove the watermark for anything nefarious, but rather, because I simply don't like text on my wallpapers. Here's an example: B i r t h by =ladyrapid on deviantART

    Would love to rock that on my desktop, but I just hate the text.

    p.s. I have absolutely no Photoshop skills whatsoever.

    or morals, you should really contact the artist to obtain a legit copy of their work. If they watermark their works, prohibit third-party use and/or sell legit copies, your 'request' here is an attempt to violate their copyright.

    Yeah, the watermark is there for a reason. You could edit it out with photoshop/Gimp, but that kind of defeats the purpose.
