How would you blur a face out (protect the innocent) in LR?

I suspect using the brush in some way but not sure…

Thanks

Mark

The spot edit (Q) actually works fantastic if you put the reference point on something white like the sky.

Use the local adjustment brush and set both clarity and sharpness to -100. Paint over the face a few times - ie you'd have a few local adjustment pins.

Of course, if you are perfectly in your rights to take the photo, stand up for them and publish the photo straight.
