1. An image processing system for modifying one or more images of a user to change a measurable cardiovascular activity that is measurable from the one or more images, the system comprising:
an image receiving section configured to receive image data comprising a plurality of image frames taken of the user;
a region selection section configured to select one or more regions where temporal changes in a colour of the user's skin are present in the image data of the image frames, wherein the temporal changes in the colour are indicative of the cardiovascular activity of the user; and
a modifying section configured to modify the temporal changes in the colour of the selected one or more regions in one or more of the image frames to create modified image data related to the one or more images of the user such that the modified image data is not indicative of the cardiovascular activity of the user.
