BLUEGRADE

Pixel

Reduce detail into visible square blocks for a digital, graphic texture.

When to use it

Strong silhouettes and broad color areas remain legible as the blocks grow.

How to control it

Amount blends the effect; Size changes the block scale.

A starting approach

Choose the largest blocks that still preserve the shape you want. Pixel is an artistic effect, not a guaranteed privacy redaction tool.

Combine with intention

Choose one main direction first. Compare with the effect reduced or off before adding another treatment. Check the exported photograph as well as the preview.
