#BRICK RIGS GIF TRIAL#

This is a trial and error thing, so if you don’t like what you see, keep editing. This technique doesn’t allow you do see your changes in real time, so it’s a good idea to save and view your work frequently to get a feel for how your edits are changing the piece.Jpg while the text editor is still open… this will allow you to see preview your images after each save without having to constantly switch your extension (see the image above to get an idea of how you can preview your work while editing) Most image files contain vital info at the top of and bottom of the file, so that’s why I recommend scrolling down before making changes.Different size files give very different types of effects.

I find that medium size files, around 500 pixels wide, tend to yield more dramatic effects than larger files.

OK, maybe it is kind of fun to use rich text editors (like Word)… they tend to do weird things with the formatting, but I suggest starting off with a basic text editor so you can have more control over your tweaks.įor this technique you’ll need the ImageGlitch app for your Mac.īe sure to change the extension back to whatever file type it was before you began incorrect editing.

ImageGlitch allows you to see your changes in real time (!!!) and doesn’t require any extension changing.

Scroll down a bit (maybe halfway down the page) and make a change.

Try deleting data in some places and adding more data in others.

Different files yield different results.

PNG, and other image files to see the different effects. I seriously can’t stress how awesome PSD files are for editing (see the image below).

For a variety of different effects try saving a file as a different extension as what you started with and then open that new save and edit in ImageGlitch.

(ie “goatse.jpg” gets edited and saved as “goatse.gif” which then gets edited and saved as something else)Ī glitched PSD file: For this file I found that different areas of the text controlled very unique features… I found the area near the middle controlled various RGB settings, so I could move the blue to the left and yellow to the right. Near the very bottom I found I was able to do the more traditional “move everything from this point in the data to the right or left” type thing that you usually do with JPG files.Ī glitched JPG file: The more traditional type of data bend.

I moved the image to the right a bit by adding data, then back left by deleting data, etc.
