@rohaank Kudos to the Magic Studio team for bringing this game-changing AI tool to life! π Your innovation is reshaping the way we experience and share our visual stories. Here's to many more successes on your journey! π
@rohaank This sounds like an awesome tool!
How did you overcome the challenge of creating an easy-to-use watermark removal tool that maintains image quality?
Congratulations to the Magic Studio team for launching Watermark Remover! It sounds like a game-changer for graphic designers and photographers looking to showcase their work without distractions. One tip: as AI continues to evolve, ensuring user privacy and security with such tools is super important. How robust are the privacy policies with your software?
@daxeelsoni Thanks for the shout-out, Daxeel! We're thrilled to offer a tool that helps creatives keep the focus on their amazing work.
Privacy is at the forefront of what we do. Our policy is ironclad: images are processed only for watermark removal. We utilize end-to-end encryption to ensure that users' work remains their own, always.
Your tip is spot on, and we're committed to continuously strengthening our privacy framework as AI evolves.
@detkov We've just launched this with some feedback from users who regularly need to deal with large sets of images where the vendor leaves the watermark removal to the merchants. We have some early indications on what else to solve for, but will work with our customers to see what is the right thing to build.
@andrew_vernon I am a photographer too, and we also use Watermarks to mark images created with our tools. So no, this is not purpose built to break the law.
Quite the opposite, we specifically trained on sets of images from genuine customers who use the tool for their product images, licensed to them from their genuine vendors. That is what it works (well) for.
@andrew_vernon@vinodbollini Why are your customers struggling with watermarked images from their vendors? If they paid for the photos, they wouldn't have watermarks.
@andrew_vernon I'm going to double down on this and agree with you. I need better examples of case uses that explain when removing watermark would be necessary. If legally obtained / purchased then they won't be on the photos. If it's your own photo, then in what case wouldn't you have the RAW? @vinodbollini
@andrew_vernon@jacob_boston It is a very common practice the ecommerce industry to have photos with watermarks. I am not the expert on the dynamics there, but possible reasons include:
1. Similar products across multiple vendors
2. Marketing in B2B marketplaces
3. Marketplace watermarks for both the above reasons
A B2B supplier has different interests than to make your photos ready for end usage.
Our tools is not for photographers, and I have asked Rohan to correct our over-zealous initial description to make this more explicit and clear.
The messaging on the page including the images should make it clear what sort of use case this is for. And we have worked with multiple customers who have edited photos (at times thousands of products) that they source and need to process the images for.
Also we ourselves use a watermark as part of our output in our product-trials, and we are probably going to add that to the free trial here as well.
@vinodbollini All B2B suppliers I've worked with across multiple e-commerce projects have never forced a watermark on me. I honestly cant see a usecase where someone isn't either selling a dodgy product OR they are stealing someones work.
Commented on a tool like this before, What sort of considerations do you have in place for people to just not steal someones IP? I've noticed you have mentioned intent BUT there are few and far between use cases where someone would genuinely want to remove a watermark that is not theft of IP...
