1. Black Out also comes with a Quick Action extension, which lets you redact an image directly from Finder, Mail, Notes, and other apps supporting that.
2. To use it, right-click an image in Finder, select “Quick Action › Customize…”, enable the Black Out extension, and then go back to the “Quick Action” menu item.
3. Then click and drag to create black boxes over the parts of the image you want to hide.
4. Black Out lets you quickly hide sensitive parts of an image.
5. You can also copy the redacted image (Click "Copy" in the "Edit" menu or press Command+C) for use in another app, or paste it into a directory in Finder.
6. Most graphics apps, like Preview, Pixelmator, and Photoshop, preserve metadata, which means you could accidentally leak information like the capture location.
7. When you’re happy with the result, click the Export button to save your new redacted image.
8. It's meant as a tool to quickly redact some sensitive information, not to perfect an image.
