Ok here are three pictures that are recently found which I censored, however they must have been done and uploaded in a hurry as the details under the blacked out areas are still visible. This was proabaly done where the "opacity" of the mask was not set to 100%.
These are perhaps the easiest type of picture to reveal and just rely on some basic skill in photoshop.
First use the square marque tool and cover the area in question. if a random shapes then use the wand or lasso
Copy the area
Paste it back so it falls ontop of the same area (cutting may drop it to the left or right and you will have to reallign)
This will now be a new layer
Working on the new layer adjust the levels by adjusting the slide bar until you get a fair match
Now adjust the colour balance and brighteness/contrast
With a bit of practice you should get something you are happy with
Tidy up and delete the edges if you lassoed too large an area
Flatten the image and save as a JPG
then upload
Note that this method will only work if the censored blocks are not completely solid
