Make parts of an image unreadable?
How can I make parts of an image unreadable in XnView MP, for example by pixelating them or in some other way?

Re: Make parts of an image unreadable?
There are multiple ways. Have you ever looked at the Effect menu?
Select a portion of your image, on the menu choose Effect->Effect and then choose something from the Effect list.
Crystallize with a shape setting of Square will do a pixelation effect. You can experiment.
Hopefully this helps...

This is a graphical application. It has a menu bar at the top. You must be aware of menus and able to use them to use an application like this.Elk wrote: Fri Mar 27, 2026 8:30 am Thank you.

When you open an image in XnViewMP, please look at the menu bar, and you will find the Effect Menu.
