Tbh I think there needs to be some dedicated tool for censoring images. Even with this method there is a small chance that it isn’t 100% opaque. I have seen several images where you can pull them in to gimp and adjust the color levels until even the slightest color difference becomes blown out and you can read the censored text.

It’s just too easy to mess this stuff up.

Windows paint does pretty well, though it's still error prone
That would be a cool idea for a really simple and easily auditable FOSS image tool.
