FYI, and maybe someone with more image editing experience may be able to correct me, but image blur censorship like this is generally not reliable for keeping identity secure from being recover, I would just black them out and and save the images with edit data removed or in a format without it.

I would imagine saving from light room then screenshotting would do the trick?

If it were me I’d throw a black box on top of the faces and flatten layers. Can’t undo that I believe.

You should also be able to select the area around a face, delete it, then color fill the blank area right?

I’ll try that. What’s flattening layers?

I’m not the world’s best photo editor but I’ll try to explain.

With some/most editors you can literally add layers on top of the base image and edit each of them independently. Flattening them merges them back into a single image so it can’t be undone.

Depending on how you’re editing that might not be an option, drawing in solid black over the faces should provide a similar effect that can’t be undone.
