Pixel'd face effect?

[rocketguy2]

How do I create the hidden identity "pixeled face" effect in CS4?

Use the mosiac effect, under stylize in the effects menu. Make a dupe of the layer, mask the hidden part, apply the effect, and tweak to taste.

Thanks! Will give that a try.

Instead of duplicating the footage layer...you should be able to add an adjustment layer to do the same thing. I haven't tested in a while, but formerly when I did similar things, the adjustment layer vs. duplicating rendered faster.
