[Ssc-dev] Wrapping up Sprint 1: Obscura on the Android Market

[Andrew Senior]

Hi all,
What is the current design for redaction- you list several redaction methods
there and I guess by "redaction" you mean the method that I've implemented
of simple constant strips. I assume that all the other methods operate on
the uncompressed image- is this forcing the image to be low resolution, or
do you find that operating in the uncompressed domain isn't really a
limitation? What is '8bit'? Do you plan to make these methods reversible?
What about exif-redaction?
