Remove Watermark from Photoshop Elements 2022

[ElaineNewYork]

Ugh. I carefully edited 35 photos and batch-processed them with a watermark in Photoshop Elements (2022) to send them to a client for review. I have no idea how this could have happened, but it seems the system saved not only my original photos with the watermark, but when I tried to batch-process other images without a watermark -- and intentionally removed my name from the text field -- it still watermarked my images! Now I am left only with watermarked images. Help? *Sigh*

I'm going to take you at your word and that you own the copyright to the photos.  Take a look at my post here for a suggestion that may help you.

Thank you so much, and yes, they most certainly are my photos!

Unfortunately, that option didn't work, just as an FYI. I made the grave mistake of watermarking across the center of the image, when I should have watermarked the bottom. When I attempted to remove it using this method, it removed the contents entirely (including the nose behind the watermark!). I ended up re-editing the images. Lesson learned. I will always make copies of the original edited image before I batch process with watermarks. Thank you, though, for your kind assistance. 🙂

@ElaineNewYork, Photoshop can often do the impossible immediately.  Miracles take a little longer.    I guess you have learned a painful lesson.  But thanks for reporting your experience.  Hopefully, it will help others avoid making the same mistake.
