5. Upload to Photoshop for Quality Comparison

   • Open Photoshop or any software capable of masking.

Quality Comparison

• Observe the quality difference between Getty Images and the downloaded one. The latter may be less pixelated.

Removing the Watermark Using the Marquee Tool

• Hold the ‘Alt’ key and click the Mask Button to remove the watermark.

Alternatively, Use the Brush Tool

• Select the brush tool, change the color to black, and brush out the watermark.

Finalization
