Hello
I urgently and important see the need to have a handy tool which works pretty much automatic as a background consent filter, maybe with a keystroke and with a section similar like the upright tool area.
What is a consent background filter: As in so many countries there is an increasing legal requirement to have consent before anybody is on a picture it can happen that even that you get consent from a person you take a picture there are more pictures in the background.. (maybe even blurred and darker) but these people still might be good enough on the picture to be recognised.
I see therefor the need to have a background - filter - crystallize process in which we can set the number of pixels as the parameter for the crystallize filter process.
This background filter does not really destroy the pictures background but just change it in a way that the persons in the background usually cannot be recognised anymore..
the current workflow I am using is - edit in photoshop - mark the background peoples faces.. - Filter - Crystallize, Store the File and go back to lightroom.. (now I do have next to me 50 mg raw file, another 150 mb tiff file and with this 2 versions of the file.. )..
Obviously there is something wrong.. and this should be a good improvement..
I wish if this will get implemented to be informed..
thanks.
because of data protection reason I cannot really send an example picture.. but you can imagine the situation.. if you make a picture from a person with a flash in a crowded bar..
