About Selective Blurring
Selective blurring is a powerful technique used for both privacy protection and creative effects. By blurring only specific parts of an image, you can maintain the overall quality while obscuring sensitive information or drawing attention to certain elements.
Common Use Cases
- Protecting personal privacy by blurring faces or license plates
- Obscuring sensitive information in screenshots
- Creating artistic effects by selectively blurring backgrounds
- Highlighting specific elements by blurring surrounding areas
- Preparing images for presentations while maintaining confidentiality
Privacy Note:
While blurring can help protect privacy, for highly sensitive information consider completely removing the content or using pixelation for better obscurity.
