This research bnlog post describes a completely automated way of removing watermarks from photos.

The system relies on having a number of photos with the same watermark and it does also offer a possible solution of applying random distortion to the watermark so that some artefacts are left behind after the automated removal process. I wonder if we will see this as an option in LR/PS?
 
So everyone should add a random element to their water mark so that it's never quite the same on any two images?

That's more or less what they are saying. Their suggestion is to just slightly distort the watermark in a random way, I think that could probably be automated in a future version of things like Lightroom.

I bet that the story resumes in the classifieds...

1 post in 2010, then 26 in quick succession in a single day...
