Streamlining Image Redaction with the Album Feature in Redaction Studio

If you have a large number of photos in need of redaction, the Album feature in Redaction Studio offers a faster and more efficient way to manage your image redaction process, whether using AI Redaction or Manual Redaction.

  • AI vs. Manual Redaction:
    • AI Automatic Detection is the fastest method for redacting faces and license plates.
    • Manual Redaction provides unparalleled control over the redaction process.
