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.

Thank you

I was pretty happy with how it came out

Spent like 3 days trying to come up with a name for it though lol

Yeah I think that’s a great name, definitely has a fantasy scifi vibe.

How does image editing with audacity work btw?

Basically you import the image as raw data and start applying audio effects to the data and export the image after each effect to see what it’s doing

It’s a bit wonky and audacity is not made for images so all you see is a wave form of the data but it can add some cool effects

And once you kick it back out again you can drop it back in image editing software for a round 2 there if you want

Edit: I can a link to a more in depth write up on it if you’d like to give it a shot because I glossed over some of the finer details on what goes into it for the sake of being concise
