Unreadable text – Blur Tool in Photoshop
There are situations where you want to make unreadable a car number, a signature, an email address or just an ordinary text, before you upload a picture which contain it, over the Internet. To do this you have to apply an effect over that text.
What I am using with a great success is the Blur Tool (press R) in Photoshop. To do it open your picture / print screen / scanned document, press R and choose brush size and style and the tool’s strength from the Menu top bar. Finally drag (with mouse button pressed) for a couple of seconds the tool over the text you wanted unreadable.
To make a more complex job go to the same menu from the top, press Mode and chose which effect you want to use. Just play a little with the effects listed there to see what’s happened.
A sample of this effect applyed over my email address is this pictures from below (I used this effect in the previous SMTP server tutorial)
