blurring faces

[BusheyGan]

I heard it was possible to blur faces in a group photo? If it is, how?

Hello,

 

A manager can do this from the control panel > settings > relatives

 

Hope that helps

Please help

Hope that helps

Ive just activated this but it says the relatives won't be able to see any photos with multiple children in. Is this correct or will the faces just be blurred?

Hello Little Stars Early Years,

 

At the moment, Tapestry does not have the option to blur/pixelate individual faces in photos with multiple children - however this is something our team is working on including in the future!

 

The 'hide pictures and videos on observations with multiple children' option removes all media from observations that have multiple children in them so relatives are unable to see any photos/videos at all.

 

To work around this, you could possibly edit the photo before uploading it to Tapestry in order to mask the faces of the children who are not permitted to be included in photographs for other children's learning journals.

Ok Thank you, ill change the settings back as I would rathe parents could see the photos. We have clear guidelines on sharing images and know which children can and can be used in multiple observations so thats all covered.

Hello,

 

Has Tapestry worked on this feature of blurring faces yet? This must be an issue that lots of early years provisions face??? Answers please! Thank you

Hello

 

We've been looking at it a lot:

 

We can't work out a way to automate blurring that we feel would be reliable enough to be ok from a safeguarding perspective.

 

That means that staff would need to edit each picture manually using a picture editor to erase whatever needs hiding.

 

That erasing can already be done in almost any picture editor.

 

We are also looking at extending the simple picture editor in the Tapestry web version (the one that allows you to rotate and crop images) to also allow you to manually erase bits of the picture.

 

All the best

 

Tom
