Glitching with Audacity

Find two images of the same person/thing

1. 500 pixels black and white

2. close to or larger than 1000 in color

both images need to be JPG (not all images are created equal, some may not work)

Prepping your files in PS

1. Crop (c) your image to a square (hold shift)

2. look at image > image size /pixels

3. Save as  and rename your file - titleSize or just Size (this step is important)

4. save as JPG

5. save as Photoshop RAW

6. do this for both files

Opening your RAW file in Audacity

1. File > Import > Raw data

2. choose -

3. encode = ULaw

4. Byte order = Little-endian

5. Channel = default (don't change)

6. Edit your file with effects (effects are like filters in PS)

Editing and Saving/Exporting from Audacity

1. File > Export Audio

2. In the dialogue box choose "other uncompressed" from the drop-down menu (the program wants to make an audio file, you want something that can open in PS)

3. Choose - RAW headerless and ULaw in the drop-downs for the file. (If the menu adds an extension to your file that is not "raw" delete it and save your file without one.)

4. You can also create several files by exporting, saving with a new name, then adding more effects and exporting again with a unique name. I usually do this when if I want to see the difference between certain effects. You can also close the program after exporting  

Opening into PS

1. file>open - RAW file

2. check Photoshop RAW options for differences (my Channel count was different, but the file still worked)

3. You may have to type in the size of your file before importing it

4. try opening it

You have completed this portion of the assignment when you when you successfully complete the process above for each of your files. -- Once you finish that you can use the "Glitch Web tools" linked beside these instructions to continue editing your file.
