Removing the date stamp You can use AKVIS Retoucher to remove irrelevant texts or objects, for example, a date stamp.
Let's take a photo that contains a date stamp:
The wires in the upper part of the photo spoil the picture, too. They look irrelevant on this picturesque photo of a park. We will seize the occasion and get rid of these wires, minor scratches and the date stamp altogether.
First of all we should select the irrelevant objects. You can use any selection tool of your photo editor to make the selection.

The easiest way to make a precise selection in Adobe Photoshop is to use the Quick Mask mode. Switch to the Quick Mask mode and paint over the defects with a pencil or a hard edge brush.
Then switch to the Standard mode and inverse the selection. As a result, the date stamp, the wires, and the scratches get selected.
When the areas for restoration are selected you can call AKVIS Retoucher plug-in (click to enlarge): .
- in Adobe Photoshop select Filter - AKVIS - Retoucher in the menu;
- in Jasc Paint Shop Pro select Effects - Plugins- AKVIS - Retoucher;
- in Corel PHOTO-PAINT use Effects - AKVIS - Retoucher.
and press the button  .
The program restores the picture on its own; you can relax in your chair and see the defects disappear.
As a result, we get the following picture, which now looks more like a postcard.
