Jay,

I didn’t think it was working either. But I signed in, and BAM! Like a charm.

Thank you, by the way! I’ve loved this script for a while now. keep up the great work!

Hi Miko,

It’s seems to be working for me still – can I ask what browser/OS you are using?

Cheers,

Jay

Can’t get the script to work with their new website.

This script is awesome. Now, if I want a nice preview for a client with large picture background (for example) I do this:

1. switch to fullscreen (F11)
2. printscreen the enlarged versions so that I have everything
3. assamble and crop the images to make a single layer
4. switch to quick mask mode
5. paste a pattern of the watermark (with a safety margin)
6. switch back to load the selection
7. Content-aware fill and …

Voila!
I have a big preview image without watermark and with only a few visible minor errors.

BTW, If you dont have the CS5 (or later) and therefor the content-aware fill, it is possible to use the patch tool with similar results.

You can have the pattern here: http://storage.tomasreichmann.cz/istockphoto-watermark-mask.pat

{ You might need to resize the pattern if so just use a layer with pattern fill, rasterize and paste into quickmask }

I always buy the picture in the end but during mock up it might be these extra 5 minutes that persuade the client without having to buy the picture you might end up not using.

I’ve always been a fan of iStock for stock photography. Will be trying greasemonkey and see if it works for me. thanks!

B-rrrilliant! God bless you Jay.

This is going to save me (as well as a lot of designers out there) a lot of time!

@Paul, @Cynthia – the script seems to still be working fine for me – what Firefox version / OS are you using?
