--- Comment #6 from Noah Davis <noaha...@gmail.com> --- > See how the tool pixelizes in the same way over and over (I was doing Undo > and redoing it). it seems like ti calculates the "random" pixels based on the > x,y screen location? Yes, that was done so that you could connect different pixelated sections together seamlessly instead of having obvious edges where a new pixelate effect began. It looks nice, but I suppose it's not the most secure type of pixelate effect. Maybe if we want that kind of visual effect, it would make more sense for the pixelate tool to be a kind of brush? That way you could pixelate a non-rectangular area in one pass seamlessly and add additional layers of pixelation by starting another stroke. The trouble here is the annotation tools are useful for security, but are also intended to be used artistically. I figured anyone who truly cared about security would just paint over the text they want to hide since you can't recover information from a black rectangle (except for the estimated size of the string). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
