Glitch art is fun, especially when you fiddle with it in Photoshop later on.

I think Seb little-scale released a Max patch a while ago that glitched out a bunch of JPGs. Looks like it's worth checking out if you have Max.

Fuck Audacity. Use Goldwave. More Simple.

Wow, I haven't heard that name in ages, is that still a thing, or are you using the same version that I still have installed on my win98 laptop?

kind of off topic, but my new favorite thing is taking images and layering a semi-opaque monochrome image of the same thing over it

Why would you ruin such a good tape? You monster!

Also, here's an alternative way to do glitch pictures, shamelessly stolen from the thread of the same name on another forum I browse.

Corrupt pictures!

1. Open the picture of choice in photoshop, or any other picture editing software that supports exporting to a RAW format
2. Save as .RAW (In photoshop: "Photoshop RAW Format (.RAW)") with no interlacing
3. In audacity, Import > Raw data... and use U-Law in the codec
4. Play it for no reason (optional)
5. Apply effects, like wahwah and compression + amplification
6. Export, choose other thingy without compression, press Options in the bottom and do U-Law and RAW, save it as the raw fomat again
7. Open in photoshop, do 3 channels and the original resolution
8. Done!

You can also, instead of audacity, use other stuff that manipulates non-image files and supports raw supporting! (Try opening it in a text editor and writing a story about bald midgets in the middle for example)

Experiment and have fun!

Thought it would be worth posting, seeing as it's different to AC's way.

Here's one of my most recent glitches

(actually it was made by using the slit scan technique on a folder full of 1000 glitched .bmps)

I used the script found here: http://www.discoverdigitalphotography.c … hy-how-to/. It works on Linux and Windows (probably Mac as well)

Dude, it looks exactly the same, you think they'd have changed the UI just a little bit over the years.

lol, I bought my copy of dookie from goodwill for like 30p. I think I gave it back after I got it on CD, just so another person could enjoy a good album, for hella cheap.

That's pretty cool, I'm going to have to try that out at some point.
