"Blank" out face in posted pictures

**BigLittleTim** · 12-08-2006, 11:32 AM

How can I block out my face on a picture I want to post?

I've got "Photoshop", but am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to computers.
Could I send photos to a Mod. with computer skills who would be willing to alter the pics and then post them for me?

Thanks!

You can do it in Paint if you like, shit man it's not that hard.

Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Paint

My grandfather is 90; he can't use an ATM card.

My dad is 65; he can't use a DVD player.

I'm 37; I can't re-size my photos in "Photoshop".

You can do anything you set your mind to do little man.

in photoshop, open your picture.

Press M on keyboard, this should select the marquee tool.

Click and drag the cross hairs over your face to create a box with a dotted outline.

2 optione here:
From the top bar click Edit>Fill>under contents select black>ok

or a little fancier

from top bar click filter>pixelate>mosaic>play around with the cell size>ok

Save picture as a copy and you're all set

You cant resize a photo, but you have the best and most expensive photo manipulation software out there? I hopeyou D/Led it from news groups or something.

you know what's weird is if you preview a picture after you block out your face - you still see your face. Also, if you block out your face and then send that picture to the recycle bin... open the bin and click on the picture - the little preview that appears shows your face!

If you save the blurred face pic undr a dif name it shouldnt?!?!

Its usually just where windows is trying to be clever and remember the pic for preview, it forgets that youve changed it!!
