 On a number of occasions I've had to edit images given to me to submit to a resource. The original photographer ''insists'' on having a 'burnt-on' timestamp directly on the image (he's always done that, and won't accept metadata does the job); meanwhile, the resource's policies are heavily against such 'decoration' and moderators often reject such. When I can't easily clone a 'coverage' area from within the same image - and feather its edges to blend in - I sometimes find another original (but slightly different viewpoint) submitted image that has a sufficiently unsullied 'patch' to let it pass muster. That's a slightly meta-example, I suppose. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.161|141.101.99.161]] 23:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
