Removing crossed out from a picture - javitolin.ar - 01-20-2024

Hi Folks, let's say i 've got a picture on my phone and I edit it adding a crossed out to the image using the pencil tool. Can I remove that using the gimp?

Thanks in advance

Can you post an example of a crossed out image?

That would be somethink like this. I want to remove the strike trough so i can see the word.

if you did it on your phone, using a software from your phone, maybe from that software if that software kept the original.
As for GIMP, if you cannot read the words at all, and the strikes and words have the very same color... maybe using Levels or Curvesor other tools in the Colors menu might help to read the words and re-write them.

The original pic was stroked with another phone but I thought that would be the same. Actually the words are grey but I can't see most of the text, the strike was made with black. I will try with some color tools just in case. Thanks Pixlab.

This is the original picture

Sounds like a lost cause if you had gone over with black. Unless you know what it originally is.
If you do, cover the are with the same color background then retype the words
