(doesn't require any styling, layering,brushes, etc...)
The idea of making this tutorial came into my mind when, using the new Yahoo Mail Beta, I was told that I had "-1 unread emails" ( I actually had 2, but maybe the monkeys counting the e-mails died...) . Having this screenshot taken I had to censore my e-mails so I can show this bug to others :).
We'll break this tutorials into 2 parts:
A. Censoring a photo (someone's face).
B. Censoring the text (screenshot, ID, credit card, etc).
A. Censoring someone's face
1. Open your photo in a new Photoshop document. (I've chosen a picture with Adam Baldwin 'Casey', from the TV Show Chuck).
2. Grab the Lasso Tool (L) and make a loose selection around the face.
3. Go to Filter->Pixelate->Mosaic and move the slider until you are satisfied with the results.
4. Press Enter to close the Mosaic window, and then CTRL+D to deselect. You can now save your updated (censored) image.
B. Censoring the text
1. Let's assume that you have this bunch of e-mails and you want to censore every e-mail excepting the one frome ImageShack (marked with red).
2. Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and select all the e-mails (click&drag from the top left corner to the bottom-right corner). Then, using the same tool, but this time holding ALT substract from the selection made previously the area containing the marked e-mail. Now, this time instead of the Mosaic, we'll use Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur.
3. Press Enter to exit the Gaussian Blur menu, and then CTRL+D to deselect. Save your file.
I advise you posting any questions or suggestions you might have in the comment section below.
Also, you can suggest any tutorial (Photoshop/Illustrator) you would like to see here in the future.
Have Fun! :)
