Although have to be careful as only works on certain photo types, and if the signature/dedication has been there for too long, then removing it (at least this way) can leave marks from the writing on the photo.

I have removed a few personalizations from professional grade, glossy photos. I write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker. When I wipe off the dry-erase marker, the permanent marker underneath also disappears. But always test first! Use a permanent marker and make a small dash on the edge of the photo. After it dries, write over it with the dry-erase marker and see if it wipes off.

It was printed at CVS Photo Center with their special paper.

Thanks! I'll go buy some tomorrow. I'll test them out on a regular photo first.

How would you go about doing that? Rubbing alcohol? I just don't want to ruin the photo. I was considering your suggestion before you mentioned it, but wasn't sure how to go about doing it.
White Vinyl Eraser.
Interesting, hadn't thought of that. I can find those at a craft store, right? How much?

or you can think of it as he thinks you are an angel haha. But seriously I would not try to fix the personalization. I did a few years back and now I regret it because it looks weird.
