Re: remove timestamp/watermark from digital images

You might use ImageMagick's convert command to crop out the portion at
the bottum with the timestamp. You'd loose a bit of the image (lower
strip of the image) but if all of the images are the same size then
you could batch (bash) it out..

An example w/ the crop option:
