How to: Perform AI Image Redaction in an Album

Overview

In the latest versions of CaseGuard Studio, an Album is automatically created when more than three images are added to a project. This allows users to quickly organize and process multiple images without manually creating an album.

Once the album is created, AI detection can be applied to all images in the album at the same time, eliminating the need to run AI on each image individually.

This feature is especially useful when redacting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) across a large number of images, reducing a task that could take hours to just seconds.

  If you already have a project open, simply add the image files to the project using the add files button in the shortcuts bar.

• When the Import Wizard window opens, select This Device.
