Area Blur
Area Blur lets you automatically blur specific parts of every new image coming from your camera by using a mask file (black/white image).
1) Download an original image (full resolution)
Open Gallery tab.
Find an image from the camera you want to set up.
Click the Download button next to the image.
Make sure you downloaded the image in its original resolution (full size).
2) Create a mask file (black = blur, white = keep sharp)
Use any image editor (e.g., Photoshop, GIMP, Photopea, etc.) to create a mask:
White areas = will NOT be blurred (stay sharp)
Black areas = WILL be blurred
3) Export the mask correctly
When exporting/saving the mask, ensure:
File type: PNG or JPG
Resolution: must match exactly the original image resolution (same width × height)
If the resolution doesn’t match, the blur areas won’t line up correctly.
4) Upload the mask in TimeLapseRobot
Go to Setup tab of your camera.
Open Image Manipulation.
Enable Area Blur.
Upload your mask file (PNG/JPG).
5) Save — and you’re done
Click Save.
From this point on, every new incoming image from that camera will automatically be blurred where the mask is black.
