On a photo job
Camera overlays on old shoots
A brand overlay or corner mark from the camera still sitting on the file. The pass rebuilds sky, brick, or fabric behind it — you are not cloning every frame by hand.
Client watermarks on proofs
When a proof set needs a clean master for print or album design, wipe the mark in seconds and leave faces, dress detail and bokeh alone. Hold Space to compare before you hand off.
Many frames, same overlay
When a batch shares the same stamp or date template, clear one path in the editor, note which tool worked (All text, Select, or Brush), then repeat on the rest — Select or Brush for the odd angled or cropped shot.
Which tool on a photo job
Start with All text when every overlay should go — common on holiday and archival scans. Use Select when a logo on a jersey or a shop sign in the background must stay. Use Brush when detection missed a soft stamp on a flat sky or a mark that sits over busy foliage. Restore-brush after All text if the wipe ate a thin edge you still need.
Delivery checklist
Compare at 100% on the stamp area: no soft letter ghost, neighbours continuous, grain matching the rest of the frame. Export WebP or convert for the client’s preferred format. Keep the original upload read-only; work on a copy when the contract may ask for the untouched file later.
Vs a heal / clone session
Heal and Content-Aware are general repairs. EraseText is built for lettering — glow, stroke and shadow that travel with the type. For one stubborn stamp on a hero frame, either path can work; for a proof set with the same overlay repeated, the specialised pass is usually faster than cloning each corner by hand. See the blog comparison if you want a side-by-side protocol.
Retention on the free editor
Uploads and results on the standard web product delete after one hour. That is enough for a delivery session; it is not a cloud archive. Download what you need before the hour is up, or ask about retention if you need a longer window for a studio pipeline.
Questions
How do photographers remove text from a photo?
Upload the frame on this page and run All text. Glow and shadow leave with the letters. Use Select when a jersey number or shop sign must stay, or Brush if a soft overlay was missed.
Will erase wreck grain, sky, or bokeh?
The pass rebuilds the surface under the mark so grain and light continue. Hold Space and check the corner at 100% before you hand the file off.
What about a whole proof set?
Clear one path here, then Bulk Erase the folder. Open Select or Brush only on the odd cropped or angled frame.
