Has anyone ever used PD for databending of images? If so, how have you done it? Take a look here for examples of databending: http://www.flickr.com/groups/glitches/

Isn't databending about loading e.g. a jpeg in a binary editor, changing some data (at random or with knowledge?) and the reloading the jpeg in an imageviewer to look what that changes might result into? Since puredata is all about data i think it's very likely that that should be possible... What exactly do you want to do?

I'd to replicate the modifying manually but possibly using a series of sliders. If possible I'd like to see the results live i.e. so that I don't have to save the file picture file again to see the results
I've dabbled a little bit with pd but have no idea how i'd load an image in to then edit the raw data.

You could use gem (plenty of gurus on the forum here) to load images and then manipulate the pd data representation of it while viewing the results live, but then you're not officialy databending anymore of course... Otherwise you should look for an object that reads binary data into a table, manipulate that data and resave as an image. I don't know if that exists, many someone else does?

dom, the problem with jpeg is that it is not exactly pure binary data. it is compressed.

JPG's can still be databent but it's just a lot easier to completely destroy a file. Can gem only use jpgs?

I'm attmpeting to create a patch to do some glitching. As part of my university work I've already attempted
:sver3 has been very helpful in at least telling me his methods but I'm having trouble replicating it. I've created a patch that follows his explanation but using my computer (running an ATI Radeon 4500 card) I get no glitching.
Is anyone else able to test this?
