Am I wrong or does this Content Aware Move Tool make Watermarks completely passé.

I am still working with CS3 so don't have any experience with the Content Aware Tool, but with this new Tool you can just move the Watermark to a place in the image where it would be easy to Clone out.

No, it's not that good.  If the background is difficult and not a repeating pattern then it is tough to remove a watermark.  If it's an easy watermark like in the photo in the video then it's easy to remove, but it's easy to remove with any tool - clone stamp, patch tool, even copy and paste a patch of grass would work quickly.

Also, for those who are actually going to spend money anyhow, buying the photo is quicker and cheaper (in terms of time is $$) than removing the watermark in Photoshop.  If someone wants a free image they can get and there's not much we can do to stop them.

I made a little tutorial on the Adaptive Wide Angle filter.. much nicer than the old lens correction tool, and quicker, at least for a photo like in the example.
