Love this and such an underrated tutorial, thank you!!

[@AMGOSUK]

Anthony -- you certainly CAN perform a version of pixelation in LR - by using a local adjustment - select add brush mask paint over the girls face and then set sharpness -100, Noise 100, Texture -100 and Clarity -100 - it is not an actual pixelation but you certainly heavily obscure the face - like your gaussian blur. Much quicker and easier than using PS.

Anthony I'm really enjoying your video tutorials. You have a great style when it comes to teaching! I should know as I did this kind of work most of my career. I will gladly send you a donation.

Thanks, Anthony....also for your Newsletter this week. Question: Some time in the past you demonstrated a KeyBoard Shortcut to send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop without having to click on "Edit In." I forgot it; would appreciate an update.

[@DodgersBlue-s7i]

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks, liked the pixelated method better.

[@maircraft4079]

Can be done in Lightroom using the Spot tool.
