Quote:Is it possible to preserve the background and remove the semi-transparent text ( which is the watermark ) ?
The short answer is no, especially not automatically in Gimp, although there might be some machine learning / AI system out there
It becomes an artistic exercise. Use the clone tool with a small fuzzy brush. Zoom in at pixel level and in your judgment clone in the background to over-paint the watermark. Zoom out and assess your work. Make corrections. It is not as hard as you think, just practice.
