I’m such a fool for pixel sorting.
Later on I used the same sketch for messing up a picture of my friend Dr. Distorto.
Outtakes from the self-published digital art-zine Recurrent Expressions.
PImage img;
int sort = 100;
void setup() {
//Size should match your image width and height.
size(800, 800);
img = loadImage("myImage.jpg");
}
void draw() {
loadPixels();
img.loadPixels();
color tempPixel = 0;
for (int y = 1; y < height; y++) {
for (int x = 1; x < width; x++) {
int loc = x + y*width;
for (int pos = 1; pos < sort; pos++) {
if (brightness(img.pixels[loc]) > 100) {
//Diferent glitchy effects:
//Difuminating:
tempPixel = img.pixels[loc - (int) random(pos)];
//Double vision fx:
//tempPixel = img.pixels[loc - pos];
//Water noise like:
//tempPixel = img.pixels[loc -
//(int) (sort * noise(x * 0.09, y * 0.01))];
//Paint scratching:
//tempPixel = img.pixels[loc -
//(int) (pos * noise(x * 0.09, y * 0.01))];
}
pixels[loc] = tempPixel;
}
}
}
updatePixels();
//save("sorting_" + sort + ".jpg");
noLoop();
}
