    As the title says

    Is it legal to make copyrighted images uncopyrighted, so that we can reuse with some modification?

    Having working on this issue to make copyrighted Image uncopyrighted. Members says using photoshop you can do it. Can we really do it ? But how ? Your suggestions please...

    According to me you can remove watermark using photoshop it does not means that you can convert copyrighted images to uncopyrighted if you remove watermark then also its illegal to use that image.

    I would say techkid is correct. The watermark is there for a reason and usually means you have to pay for an image to get it. Is it really worth getting into trouble over? I say pay whatever they want for the usage licence you need or find another image. There's plenty of free stock photo sites where you can use the images without restriction.

    On a side note, copywriting is not the same as copyrighting. Copywriting is about creating sales copy to encourages the sale of a product or service such as a great landing page on a website or a sales letter.

    Copyright is defined by Nolo as "A legal device that provides the owner the right to control how a creative work is used. A copyright is comprised of a number of exclusive rights, including the right to make copies, authorize others to make copies, make derivative works, sell and market the work and perform the work. Any one of these rights can be sold separately through transfers of copyright ownership. "

    Infringement of copyrights make lawyers very rich men. I'd not recommend trying it. Thread moved from Copywriting to Web Hosting & Design.

    you can remove the copyright watermark on photographs using photoshop,but if you get caught you will face legal problems for removing copyright watermark.Just think what you will fell like when someone removed copyright on your own photos and are using them without paying .you will definitely feel cheated.so please donot do that.

    In my opinion you can remove the filigree using the photoshop which it does not make means that you can convert guaranteed images the royalties uncopyrighted if you remove the filigree then also his illegal to employ this image.
