If you use the Redaction feature for PDFs, what is the behaviour if there is an image partially overlapping the regions being redacted?

Hi,

If redaction region overlaps an image the image is processed in the intersection area. The intersection area of the image will have all the pixels set to the color specified for the redaction (black by default) or closest possible color alternative depending on the image format / color space. This effectively removes any information contained in the image at the intersection are, which is the purpose of this functionality.
