Consequently, the intensity of the blurring remains consistent regardless of the size of the fonts of writing on the same image, thus avoiding you to have to manually adjust the settings for each sizes of writing.

The same goes for the pixelating of faces – the intensity of the effect is proportional to the selected area. A tall face will be more pixelated than a small face.

Manual mode – Manual selection of masking areas

With manual mode, you can choose between pixeeling effect, blurring or solid (black rectangle). Use the settings to change the intensity of the effect. The following images show you an overview of the different effects.
