How to delete Watermark from photo using Paint-NET

If you don’t see it, right-click the toolbar to customize and add it. - Set the Clone Source:
Hold down the Ctrl key and click on an area close to the watermark that you want to use to cover it.
Release Ctrl. - Peint Over the Watermark:
Click and drag over the watermark area.
The Clone Stamp will copy pixels from the source area and peint over the watermark.
Adjust the brush size and hardness in the toolbar as needed for more precise work. - Refine Your Work:
Continue sampling and painting until the watermark is covered smoothly.
Use the Undo button (Ctrl+Z) if needed. - Save Your Image:
Once satisfied, go to File > Save As to save your edited photo.
