Privacy redaction — faces, plates, and house numbers, quietly covered.

The listing photograph is otherwise ready, but the seller is in the mirror, the neighbour’s plate is in the driveway, and the door number is on the transom. Privacy redaction covers each of those — only those — so the photo can ship to the portal, the brochure, and the social post without a manual mask pass.

Unlike a generic blur, this is a redaction with intent: bounded tightly to the target, consistent across reflections, and applied as one of three considered styles — soft Gaussian blur, even pixelation, or a flat neutral mask.

1. Faces are covered in every framed photo, every reflection, and every visible screen — not just the obvious foreground.
2. License plates are covered tightly; the rest of the vehicle is untouched.
3. House numbers on mailboxes, plaques, doors, and kerbs are covered. The plaque or door stays exactly as photographed.
4. Redactions never extend onto surrounding furniture, walls, or building cladding.
5. Three styles available: Gaussian blur (default), pixelation, or flat neutral mask.

Output paired with the original so the agent can keep an unredacted master for legal or MLS files. The manifest records which targets were redacted and which style was applied.

Used at the end of any Vesta run that ships to public surfaces — applied across the full set as the final, intentional redaction pass before export.
