Remove the Date with Alien Skin Image Doctor Spot Lifter (Plugin)

Alien Skin Image Doctor Spot Lifter

The spot lifter from Alien Skin Image Doctor can be effective in removing a date from a picture.

Alien Skin Image Doctor is a collection of four photo enhancement filters. In this example, I made a selection of the date, then I used the "Spot Lifter" filter from Image Doctor with the settings:
Expand selection: 1 pixel
Removal Strength: 100
Feather Radius: 1.00

This resulted in a slightly smudged appearance, but it was very quick and looks a lot better than the blocking technique.
