The chain link fence consists of thin lines with greenery in the background. The greenery is essentially just a random pattern of greens. So all they need to do is fill in the pattern with similar areas of greens in the same range. I'd be more impressed if they showed a variety of images. For instance, maybe something like this... http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/cof...97744-81416497 ... where the exact color of removed areas will be important to the image. Or even this... http://www.istockphoto.com/photo/del...lmon-fillet-wi th-aromatic-herbs-gm499376971-42523300 ... where gradients, regular patterns, and small areas of extreme color change are important.

Why would they? They're obviously uninterested in any kind of change in the way they interface with Usenet, be it Unison, NZBs, or any of the non-interactive downloaders.

Yes but in figuring out just what needs to be done to remove watermarks, you now know much more about how to design them to be hard to remove. Also, it is possible that removal with software leaves tell-tale evidence, invisible to the eye but detectable by suitable software. So you can potentially build a "Show where watermark has been removed" tool, which presumably Google might find very useful indeed to prevent charges of infringement. |

Aah - but in Agent your's is broken (wrapped) and David's isn't. they were *identical* when initially posted. what happened after that is anyone's guess, especially since agent is known for not handling urls correctly. |
