Best effect to anonymize a name in text

I want to anonymize some names in a document which has been scanned to a
GIF.
What have you found to be the best effect/setting to preserve the
general look and feel of text but which obliterates its meaning?
I have been using PUSH BRUSH with these settings on scans of documents
in 11 point Arial.
size 44
hardness 29
steps 60
density 100
thickness 100
rotation 0
opacity 100

How about, selecting, then "Filter > Pixellate > Mosaic" to create the
classic pixellated view?

2,
Where do I find the Money Pattern? I looked in all the patterns in CS2, but
may have overlooked it.
Thanks,
Dennis

You could overlay the text with images of nonsense text -
what printers call greek.

About this:
Make a selection of the word(s) you want to blur, next go to Adjust > Blur >
Gaussian Blur. From the pop-up window play with the radius control util you
get the level of blur you desire.

127.0.0.1:
How about using the Selection tool set in Rectangle mode to select the
text, then use Effects:Reflection Effects:Kaleidoscope. Just set Number of
Petals=2, Edge Mode to Repeat or Wrap and everything else = 0. That should
give you a somewhat Cyrillic looking pattern of markings in place of the
name.

Include "spam(trap)key" somewhere in the

Re: Best effect to anonymize a name in text

I want to respect the privacy of people who are named in my documents
but at the same time I want to circulate the documents.
So I need to completely hide the text where a name or address appears.
However, I don't want it to look like some secret document released from
the FBI or government archives! --- So, no long opaque black
rectangles all over the page which draw your attention attention away
from the remaining content of the document to all the balck bits.
Replacing the hidden text completely with a block of mid-gray shading is
a start but I want to put something in which merges with the look and
feel of the main text but which is obviously a "crossing out" when you
read it so you don't slow down or stumble at those places.
I thought maybe morphing the text may be a good idea like my Push Brush
settings in my posting. It is relatively quick because it involves only
one layer. (I learnt about manipulating layers here only a very short
while ago.)

For what purpose, please? Are you trying to stifle OCR programs?
FWIW, there is a pattern you can incorporate that will do a pretty good job
of keeping certain twains and image processing programs such as CS* from
processing. It's the Money Pattern standard thing.
