Writing Ebook Question

GoingSomewhere · 08-20-2009, 03:09 AM

Hi Warriors,

I noticed the ebooks i read have screenshots
of payments received to validate that the authors'
money making system work.

Now, to adhere to terms of service (TOS), say
clickbank.com TOS, these authors blur the
names and IDs of the payers.

I want to know how they are able to blur it
that make it dark and unreadable.

I am writing a report with screenshots. I don't
want to contravene TOS of any network.

Thank you.

You need to have some software that will let you edit images and photos, then you just use a paintbrush or eraser tool to draw over the details you want to keep private.

Some software has a blur tool to so you can blur the details.

You can use MS Paint which is installed with Windows. Very basic software no blur tool.

My recommendation is to use G.I.M.P. this is a free open source application that has features comparable to Photoshop and seeing that its free you can't go wrong.

You can download G.I.M.P. here

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Hope this helps.

you can do this with gimp or paintbrush

EDIT: just saw Harry's post above that explains it

GoingSomewhere asked that you should make a suggestion.
I need to know this too. It is not going to be one-off blurring.
Why not post your suggestion and the software you use for the
benefit of all?

One of the simplest ways is to use snagit, it is a paid solution, very simple to use
