Many time ago I experimented how effective watermarks could be, so I did some tests and experimented some ideas.
Some failed and some success, once I had success I needn't to go further just because I knew the answer, "watermarks can be removed"
But you needn't to remove a watermark. The idea is simple and maquiavelic. Take a watermarked image then take other watermarked image and then compose an image with both, can be side by side, superposed, etc.
What will do the software or plugins that identifies watermarks?, there are two watermarks!, if both watermarks are of the same strength the plugin get crazy and reports "no watermark found"
The second image can be only a black image with a watermark that you superpose to the other image.
And here is Maquiavelo, if I watermark my black image with my name and make this watermark very much stronger the result will be that any watermark check will report that the original image is copyrighted be ME!!!
I am EVIL!!!!!!!!!
