Art/Literary - Printing & Publishing / instruction manual for preparation of a manuscript for a publishing house
German term or phrase: Augenabdeckung
The paragraph is describing a situation when photos are being printed by a publisher without permission of the subject. It says that the face in the photo should be made unrecognizable by an "Augenabdeckung" of the publisher. I know this means covering up your eyes, but is there a more technical term?

black bar
Explanation:
By covering the eyes with a black bar.

Also: black censorship bar

Example:
"Wal-Mart wasn't going to carry the record the way it was. They suggested we put a big black bar across everything. But if we were going to censor it in any way, we wanted it to look good. I didn't do it for Wal-Mart, but for the kids who have no other' way of getting the music.
