TOKYO (MacHouse) – Last month, we released five or six OS X applications. This month, we will be slow since we have to do taxes. Anyway, we have already submitted the first application of the month to Mac App Store. This new release is called faceBlock.

faceBlock is a desktop application that utilizes OSX‘s Core Image to detect faces on pictures so that they can be isolated as separated images or entire pictures can be exported with faces filtered. It has two modes. If you set the mode switch to Detection, faceBlock will show you which face is detected in a given picture. The main objective of this application is to let the user hide faces. So switch to the Face block mode. Then select an effect to apply to each picture. For now, there are five effects to choose from: CIDiscBlur, CIDotScreen, CICrystallize, CIPixellate, CIExposureAdjust. After adjusting some values, you can export all pictures with faces covered. Or you can also batch-export each face as an image.   Continue reading →
