Hiding Sensitive Information

This is kind of a dumb question. When people take a screenshot to include in a post, how are they able to wipe out phone numbers etc. that they don't want readers to see?

Depends on where they're getting the screenshots from - their phone or their computer....

Before uploading, members are altering the photo using some form of photo editing software.

Hi @ecowen

But you can also edit the file then take screenshot

@ecowen I use something called Nimbus Screenshot. It's a Chrome extension. If you want a quick tutorial, let me know. I love to share my limited skills.

All within your Chrome Browser. I use mine on my PC. Not sure how it would work on a phone.

I just use my phone. Take screen shot of what you want. Go to your gallery open screenshot and click "edit" depending on your phone you should have different features to edit the screenshot.

Yeah, I use my 'puter as well, but in my case, I use Windows7's snipping tool.

Might have to look into that, although I RARELY use Chrome..... I prefer FireFox, although I expect if that one isn't available for FF, it probably has it's own similar add-on. 🤔

@ChuckYeah Oh boy! A whole new learning curve. I'm not sure if im ready for this....

You'll love every minute of it @darlicious . It's so easy and you can really produce some professional looking stuff in less than a minute. I also spend a few extra minutes on some more common solutions and save them to a folder on my desktop called PMstuff.

These creations are just a couple of clicks away with the system PM provides community members. I recently discovered the "blur" box which is an awesome choice for personal information.
