The GIMP or GNU Image Manipulation Program -- a free, open-source software program that can be downloaded from gimp.org -- has many of the same features as a professional, proprietary image editing program, and if a watermark is created on a layer within an image, you can delete the watermark layer by using GIMP. However, if the watermark is part of the image layer itself, the only way to remove the watermark is to edit the image.
