i have found that if you use the magic wand and select the letters of the watermark..then adjust the brightness and contrast along with the saturation. the image will reapear. then use the cloneing tool to clean up along with the healing brush.

for the stips of displaced image. marquee select the bars of tweeked image and nudge them back into place. you have to zoom in quite a bit to make sure that you only select the displaced strip. then tweek the saturation and contrast ect. untill you get the match.

this stuff sounds complex but it is A LOT faster than the cloning tool.

that is a REALLY great idea. i had never thought to do that. Anyway here is my attempt at the horizontal duel shot (which i did well before i read Gatodama's method). I was not able to fix or add the "episode III" text in a way that i was satisfied with, so i left it off. if anyone wants to go in and add, please do.
