INPAINT is already a great product...BATCHINPAINT is even better, since it gives you the ability to process several pics in batch.
But do we really need a program like this?
Usually, unlike you are a photographer, the average Joe home user doesn't have tons of pictures with unwanted persons or objects accidentally caught by his/her camera....so INPAINT is more than enough!!

Anyway 2 THUMBS UP from me!

As with all Teorex offerings, the installation is smooth and easy with a setup file and an activate file. No need to visiting a link or use an email address. This publisher has always been popular here because their programs are easy to use and work quite well. I expect the results will be the same for this offering.

I am not an expert on pictures and how to touch them up. My only concern is that in batch processing some images may not get the full attention that they need. But Teorex has thought of that and has offered tutorials at the following link...

I have found with Inpaint and other programs like this that slow and easy is the way to go when touching up images. Rather than block off huge sections, try smaller ones until the object you want is gone. Save often, especially after a successful process. I will leave further opinion to the experts but I would heartily recommend this product to anyone that has a need for it. It's a great program made by a great publisher.

Thank you GOTD team and Teorex.

As they show on their website it looks like it's mainly used to remove date stamps on photographs.
I tested this by using two totally different photographs and inserting text at the same position in both.
I then marked it for removal in the first photograph and started the programs removal process.

It worked very successfully on both photographs, what more can you ask!

I like Inpaint, but it doesn't adapt well to batch processing. In all fairness, I doubt any similar program would. Anyone who has used the original (it's been given away here many times in different versions) knows that it's not magic. It often takes repeat tries and tweaking to get the desired effect.


Since the Inpainted portion of your picture is filled in according to the surrounding area, the pictures would have to be absolutely identical for it to work. Just having the watermark, etc. in the same place is meaningless, because you wind up tweaking and re-tweaking the photos anyway. This is just a bad idea. You'd be better served and far less frustrated by simply using original Inpaint to edit your pictures one at a time.

OK,it downloaded,installed with no problems on my computer running-Windows 7 Ultimate,32bit.
Step 1.-Removing a watermark from a single image,works real fine.(99% success)
Step 2.-Removing a watermark from a small batch of almost identical images works ok,slight imperfections.(85-90% success)
Step 3.-Removing a watermark from a folder containing 60 images with watermark in exact same place,doesn't live up to it's name as a batch removal.(50% success)
On a large scale as a 'Batch Removal' it doesn't work well.I used a folder containing fashion shots watermarked,only half the photos turned out fine,the other half had some minor to major imperfections.Such as part of watermark extended,model in image having an extra foot or leg bent out of shape etc...Resulting in images being ruined if backups are not made first.I'm sorry to say but this doesn't work as a 'Batch Removal' tool.For a 'free' app with almost perfect success for using single images but for an app that is designed for 'Batch Removal'that you have to pay for,then this application needs a lot more work to justify the price.
