### Automatic Blurring & Blurring Tool \[BETA]

On Wednesday, July 17th, we will be introducing a new automatic image blurring tool for all new iGUIDEs in the iGUIDE Portal. This tool will automatically blur images, enhancing the privacy and professionalism of your content. Additionally, the manual blurring tool will be made available for all iGUIDEs, no matter their creation date, allowing for greater flexibility and control over your image editing process.

**Automatic Blurring:**

* This option is selected during the upload process on the Create iGUIDE Page and is only applicable for new iGUIDEs.
* Blurring is processed automatically after the iGUIDE is published by our drafters.
* Automatically blurs any recognized human faces.

**Manual Blurring:**

* Done manually *after* the iGUIDE is published by visiting your iGUIDE’s blurring tool section. (Available for all iGUIDEs)
* You can manually add up to 100 blurs to each Pano.
