I have jpg pictures of a boat that I want to sell, and the dates on
the pictures from last fall detract from the otherwise nice pictures.
Someone else took the jpg pictures, but I have a 1998 version of Paint
Shop Pro, and I have Adobe Photo Deluxe Home Edition 4. I want to keep
the pictures in the jpg format. Also, I have a Windows XP computer
that I bought about 9 months ago. Is there any simple way to edit the
pictures, or will I have to retake pictures, which would be something
of a hassle?

Use the Clone Tool to clone from an area very close to the writing.
Alternately, you can use the color picker to choose a color immediately
adjacent to the writing. Then use a paintbrush to paint the chosen color
over the writing
Be sure that the Opacity = 100% in either case.
I am not familiar with the toolbox in PSP but I'm sure it has some tool
equivalent to a clone tool and a paint brush.

Indeed, the same tools, and they are called the clone tool and the
paint brush.

Thanks a lot for your help and Dons. Paint Shop Pro does have a clone
tool and although it is a bit clumsy for me, it does the trick.

You can also try turning the date overlay off in the camera so in the future
this doesn't happen. This is only a feature an armature with a cheesy camera
would use anyways. I mean really outside of a few rare situations who wants
that crap stamped in to your image.

I said nothing about weeding out anyone. We need to educate people that
having the camera add a date stamp to your images makes you look like
someone that doesn't know much. Anyone that has taken pictures for any
length of time knows to turn that off. The only ones that really need it are
few and far between maybe insurance adjusters and law enforcement. Why
camera companies insist on having this on by default is just as baffling as
them calling a feature that ups the ISO when there is camera shake image
stabilization.

It's very handy when using a camera to make photographs which record
date sensitive data, such as annual records of flower blooming times.
What's silly is using your camera's default settings without reading
the manual. Sometimes defaults are set by the manufacturer simply to
alert a shopper to the fact that the capability exists.

Putting the date on the image is a very annoying thing, and not one I
would use. I recognize that it would be handy for those who use their
camera to document things, such as law enforcement people. For those of
us who only want to know when the picture was taken, there is EXIF.

Your uncompromising attitude towards knowledge of all things
photographic is to be highly commended and reveals an incisive mind.
Apply, if you will, this considerable intellect towards reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature
and savour the self-sarcasm by rereading the last few posts.
