Censored image effect

Step 1

Open an image in Photoshop.




Step 2

Using the Elliptical Marquee Tool or Rectangular marquee tool and select the area you wish to censor. I have made a selection around the face area.




Step 3

Select filter > pixelate > mosaic and set the cell size to 8 and click ok. You may need to change the cell size for image depending on the size.



You should now have a censored image.
