By challenge do you mean 'I'm a cheap ass bastard' challenge?

Those watermarks are too dominant. To pay somebody with enough skill to do that would cost more than the photos themselves.

Contact the photographer and state which photos you would like and what you're willing to pay. If the photographer has a little sense, he would accept a $25 sale over a $0 sale.

It would be easy if they weren't so small, not worth the effort on a 15KP image. Only thing it's good for is Faceshit and no one on there gives a crap if your pictures have words on them.

Contact the photographer and tell him you understand he's been trying to make commercial use of your image and property without a model and property release.

In this particular circumstance, you'd be prepared to settle the matter with copies of the photos, and him deleting the originals, plus a 25 quid admin fee. Otherwise you'll see him in court!!

Joking aside, I would have thought this would be true, unless you explicitly signed some kind of waver when booking the track day (it not being a 'public place' he may have some kind of get out, or he could argue that you are not identifiable). I don't *think* in the UK you can take photos of people (even in public) and use them commercially without their permission. However there are exemptions for personal or editorial use (e.g. news stories, which this isn't).

I would be surprised if the photographer of this event didn't have rights to photograph and exploit as part of their contract. You may have agreed to this when booking the event. Model release is not required in the UK; I can take pictures of whomever I like in a public place and publish with impunity (within the bounds of decency and legal conduct). It seems Australia have a similar approach. Also, 'commercial use' of a photograph is considered using that photograph to sell something other than the photograph itself.

Furthermore, publishing images taken by someone else without their consent is a breach of their copyright. It is unlikely anyone would actually chase you for it, but they are entitled to. This is, of course, why they only provide low res proofs with watermarks on, to tempt you into purchasing without giving away the goods.

You can't restore data that aren't there, especially on that size of image.

You can first remove the branding with (e.g.) GIMP and heal selection. That works tolerably for largish randomish areas like the gravel and to a lesser extent the track, but when you get into the bits that you care about (you and the bike) it'll spazz up and you'll need to sort it manually.

I did a bit of smudging here, but got bored after a couple of minutes. That right arm needs redone almost from scratch, and at that point you're really just faking a CGI impression of yourself.

That's about what I managed, if it was for a small size on facebook or something you can almost get away with it, especially if you apply a wonky filter to deliberately muck it up because it's arty.

ah right, I thought it might be as simple as say removing a layer.
awesome efforts though, thanks. Facebook picture worthy for sure.

Most UK snappers charge about £4 for a digital copy. That Yank is taking the P.
The law stated is relevant to the UK only, what is the situation in the USA?
