Mashup of Goya's Maja Desnuda and a publicity still from the 2008 Beijing Auto Show. FFT used to generate mask, reduce image to heavy lines.

Lots of noisy compositing with masks generated from FFT operations, interrupted sorting, color quantization and JPEG compression artifacts. All are unpredictable, so this result may be called glitch art, though I've hammered on it in various ways.

Sorting and glitchy compositing, a little FFT, final image reduced to 1 bit.

Boids directed with video tracking, glitch.

Egyptian Spring + Aeneas at Delos, by Claude Lorrain, from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Claude_Lorrain_002.jpg.

I am still undecided about the merits of the neon effects processing for this image.

Altered images captured from a notorious incident, as shown on teevee, where passersby grabbed money spilled by an armed robbery getaway car that crashed on the freeway.

Tech note: FFT processing, horizontal interrupted pixel sorting, zigzag scan interrupted pixel-sorting.

Taken from the castle. HTC One X Panorama function.

Extremely abstract and highly saturated version of a glitched and remixed painting by Tiziano Vecellio, the result of various processes, including an FFT that cut off high-frequency detail.

TIred of prounouced sunbursts, I openened for this sunset to f11 from my usual minimum f16.

Image processing stages - left to right, top to bottom:

1. raw image from registax6 immediately after stacking

2. registax wavelets - settings: gaussian wavelets, increment 1, wave 2 slider slightly negative, wave 3 slider range 4-10

3. registax6 histogram and colour balance: use the histogram slider to adjust the midpoint, and also stretch the dynamic range (log scale view to avoid clipping).

Use colour balance panel to turn down the red and blue channels for correct-ish eyeball colour.

4. restart registax6 and import the saved .png image. Gentle use of wavelets, same settings again. Wave 3 slider range 2-4

5. registax6 histogram and colour balance: same procedure as before

6. import image into Photoshop elements. Gaussian blur at minimum settings (0.4/0.5) to remove noise and obvious pixelation/TV scan lines.

3 rounds of High Pass Masking (overlay setting - hard light setting is too fierce, soft light too modest) and if necessary a bit of Gaussian blur if speckles start to intrude.

No idea what HPM does - works like a much gentler version of unsharp masking, and only 1 parameter to adjust !

7. More Photoshop Elements: adjust levels RGB midpoint for brightness, Red and Blue channels for colour balance again.
