photosynthesis

[Jake Elliott <panther.modern@xxxxxxxxxx>]

in light of the recent metasynth discussion, has anyone in subscription
to this list done much work with photoshop plug-ins on raw sound data?

i've been experimenting with it myself over the past week and have found
that the 'sharpen' effect does very wonderful things to sound, but most
other effects generally have the result of annihilating the original
information altogether and producing sort of modem-like bitnoise.  has
anyone had any luck with any other plug-ins/effects?

in summary, the technique is: save a soundfile as raw data, load that
raw data into photoshop, process it and save it again as raw data, reload
into sound playing software.

thanks,
