[spoiler84c41ce12c]I have this photo that was taken at a Redsox game, but it has the word "Proof" written across it. Is there anyway to get it outta there?[/spoiler84c41ce12c]

[b84c41ce12c]Edit[/b84c41ce12c] Found out I can just buy it, nevermind.

Gimme a second, I gotcha.

of course it is possible. it would take a little work but it certainly could be done. hopefully it is a good resolution shot, it would be easier to work with

hehehhehe

22-06-2006 07:40:18

Not if you want to spend hours retouching the watermark out. I'm assuming that watermark is there since a photog wants to get paid for his/her work? Why not just pay them?

Im going to buy an 8x10, or maybe even a shirt. If I could pay for just the digital photo to save on my computer without the word PROOF, Id do that, but thats not availble for purchase.

-Thanks ilanbg....cant wait to see what you can come up with lol

The word "proof" is now completely impossible to read

I knew you were going to do that, heh heh.

Anyway, if you REALLY purchase that photo, I'm sure they'll give you a clean jpeg.

K here is half of it, doing the faces will be kind of hard, but would take another 5 minutes.

You are going to have to either pay me, persuade me, or hope someone else will finish where i left off to get it finished, lol.

i would do it for $, but it probably wouldnt be worth it to you

u should be able to get a jpeg from him. the problem is that since u can easily make copies he doesnt want to give it to you, which is reasonable and protects his work.

He should be able to offer him a JPG in a low resolution, like 60dpi, and fairly small.. it'd be unusable for anything besides wallet prints.

haha thanks vector, that's.....semi good. Thanks for trying though ). I don't even know how I'd go about just asking for one. www.redsox.com/fanfoto is where they are. It's like a big thing. My stepbrother (11) threw out the first pitch yesterday, so I got to go down on the field and stuff and get a few autographs. It was pretty cool.

why don't you just respect someone else's work and purchase the picture?

from the sounds of it, the vendor doesn't let him just buy a small digital picture

in this case, i think the best bet is to buy the 8x10 and scan it

Based on what OMW posted, as long as he can find the proof in one of the 64 galleries for the date of the game, posted on the fanfoto site, he can get a 5x7 print and download the image for $19 - might be worth it.

That's not the most difficult picture to fix. Even I think I could do it, so why don't you just get Photoshop and do it yourself?

OldManWrigley

22-06-2006 15:37:49

I have photoshop, but really would have no idea where to start on how to do it. I have PLENTY of money to afford even $25 for the picture, but from the looks of it you can't just get the actual picture without "Proof" written across it. If I buy and scan, that will lose quality.

it will probably have better quality after scanned then after someone photoshops it...

You can buy the picture without "proof" on it from the fanfoto site - you even linked it in your post. The "proof" watermark is to protect the photographer from people like you trying to steal his work without paying for it. The photographer provided a service, and you're now interested in the service, thus there is a charge.

Further, did you read my post? There's an option to both buy a print, and download the image for about $18. What's the issue?

If you're truly just trying to get a digital image, and not steal it to produce your own prints, a scanned 8x10 will provide GREAT quality at the size you would need.

I played with this in the Gimp, and it's pretty easy to do except for the nose of the girl on the left. The embossing of the PROOF text runs down her nose line and distorts it enough that it can't easily be reconstructed to actually look like her nose, at least without another picture of her to go by. If the image were very high resolution you might be able to see enough of her nose structure, but in this one you can't.

Not that I intended to give it to you, I just like to challenge myself sometimes. P

I agree with what Doyl and CG said either scan an 8x10 or buy the print that gets you the image download. My buddy is a photog and I know how much time, money, and effort goes into the business. That's why they protect themselves. According to him, some photog's NEVER sell or release their RAW images (or HQ TIFF's or JPEG's), while others will do so but at enormous prices. It's their livelyhood, and they protect it fiercely.

Yeah, at that point the file equals a negative, and negatives are expensive to acquire, as many blackmailees know. ;)

OldManWrigley

22-06-2006 21:25:40

Honestly, I could give two shits about paying any amount of money for the picture. I didn't see any option to pay any money and download the print. I guess I didn't do my research. Thanks for the insight from all of you.

[ba10761b89a]Edit[/ba10761b89a] That multitude of options wasn't available when I first looked on there this morning (Like all the different ways to order it).
