So I took some pictures of the moon the other night that were horribly overexposed and I figured “why not try to bring it down a bit” and when I did I got a lot of interesting artifacts in the image that were some interesting colors.
So I did a some editing in Lightroom, then Audacity, then Lightroom again. Converting it from Raw, to JPG, to BMP, and back to JPG.
Using Audacity to edit the image a bit can add a lot of weirdness that is (IMO) quite interesting.
Here’s a link to a tutorial
Someone linked it to me a couple months ago and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it since then
Funny thing to encounter on a Minecraft forum.
Even funnier, here’s a blog post from a Minecraft modder that does a simillar thing - encoding images in various audio codecs (Scroll to the “Finally, the demo” to skip the tech talk):

I’d love to try this sometime, some of these artifacts look very cool. I also want to try using the encoded images for sound design or music.
