Blur persons and objects in your images based on exif metadata

Example Workflow

1. Face-tag persons with their names on your pictures
   • This can be done with e.g. DigiKam

Screenshot of DigiKam with three tagged persons (named "A", "B" and "C"):

2. Copy all pictures to be modified in a folder

See example/

3. Run this python script on that folder with a list of names of persons to be blurred

In main.py the three names are specified:

names = ['A', 'B', 'C']  # TODO: Enter name of persons to be blurred

This results in the following picture:
