Inscription Removal Question
I am seeking professional advice. What is the best way to remove a Sharpie inscription from a photograph? I know that many in-person autograph dealers do this routinely. Thanks in advance.

Ok this is what you need to do just look at what I did myself in the 2 photos the 1st with the inscription the 2nd without you need a dry wipe marker pen and then go over the inscription you have with it bit by bit then rub off with a microfibre cloth or kitchen paper

I only knew this because I asked Jason Thanos at a show some years back and he showed me how on one of his Tom hardy autograph photos he put a line with a sharpie pen on the photo then he used the dry wipe marker and it was gone :-) my friend now has that photo.

Are you talking about a dry-erase marker of some kind? I am not sure what a dry wipe marker pen is. Do you have a brand or somewhere online that sells the?
Does this process leave a smeared look or is it noticeable in person? Thanks

It is like what you would use in a school class room to add words on a white broad then wipe it off

Most of the time u would not know that a inscription was on the photo if a name has been put on with some pressure you would see a little out line

Sorry I'm a bit slow. Is this a black dry erase marker you would use to write on top of the inscription and then wipe it off with a micorfiber cloth? I think that is cool if it works.

Thank you Kato and Tyler for the responses. Now this is really funny. This morning before I posted this discussion I asked my 15-year-old daughter if she knew any way to remove a Sharpie from anything. She told me that the only time she had ever seen it done was when a teacher accidentally wrote on a dry erase board with a Sharpie and a student told her to just scribble over it with a dry erase marker and erase it with the dry erase eraser. I laughed at her and decided to post the question here so that the experts could offer me their advice.
