Pixelate Region

Hi,
I don't know if I'm right here or if it is a jAlbum feature.
It is a great idea within the new version 30, thank you.
However it would be fine if the pixels might be set along a line which is not horizontal (e.g. by pressing ctrl while clicking). To understand what I mean, I attach a photo, where the car plate should be pixelated (carpalte.jpg).
I add another photo carplate-pix.jpg where my work of pixelating is shown.
Modifying the pixel size did'nt help to much.
Best regards
Ulli

Moved to General forum, it is a jAlbum function.
Have you tried ‘painting’ the pixelation, see https://jalbum.net/help/en/jAlbum/Edit#Pixelate_region
Not tried it but a standard method is click once, hold shift key down and click again. For most software that draws a line between the two click points. |

Thank you RobM!
If I do so like you suggested I get a kind of step, ref to attached photo pixelate.jpg.
This is not what I expected.

I would love to try this, but I'm not getting the Pixelate region tool at all. Tried a completely fresh install, just to be sure. What am I missing?
ETA: Oh, this is fun! Works on macOS, but not on Windows. Am I the only one seeing this problem?

Curious. Jeff. I get it (see attached pic).
I run Windows 10, and you?

On my Macbook, where I can actually try this, I think the minimum pixel size is still much too large for the way this kind of tool would most often be used.

Windows 11. But it really shouldn't matter, since the underlying Java is exactly the same. |

Mystery solved. When testing out a beta feature (I don't remember which one), I installed a version of jAlbumFilters.jaext. This lands in the config directory, and overrides the version that's bundled with the release.
ETA: It's all coming back to me. This is what happens when you let that "David" guy tell you what to do.

Have you changed the pixelation size, reduce it to get the effect over just s few pixels of the image. |

Hi RobM,
sure, I reduced the size, almost to zero. One of the problems is that it is not quite clear where the square pixel is exactly set, respective where you have to click to set the next square behind the other. If the area to pixelate is almost but not quite horizontal the distance between the upper row and the next lower row ist to large to cover the area above.
OOO
.......OO
I hope I explained it in a way that it is to understand.
Regards
Ulli

The tool appears to be a pure "painting" one - click and drag over the area you want to pixelate. There isn't any way to tell it to pixelate everything from point A to point B, in a straight line.
For something like a license/number plate, moving the pixel size slider to its smallest setting helps. I think the smallest size should be smaller than it is, however.
The other thing that's missing is the ability to zoom in on the image, then invoke the tool and pixelate a region. When you choose the tool, the image snaps back to "fit to window" size, so it's difficult to zero in on one small area.

Hi Jeff,
that it is what I meant. I hope that jAlbum's developpers find an appropriete way to solve that.

I have just tried pixelating your image, see attached. Also see attached movie for how it looks when I pixelated it on my Mac (15 inch display).
