For this piece I subjected the image to a 3 step process. Starting in Photoshop, I built a displacement map from the original to produce the distorted, corrupted feel. Secondly, the image was converted to a format usable by a 1980’s Commodore Amiga computer. It was then dithered and recolored in 4096 colors by the vintage machine. Lastly, the image was display on a 14in CRT monitor, re photographed and imported back onto a modern Mac. For a comparison, the inline image attached is a direct save from the Amiga. Notice how small the dimensions are, this a full sized image from a 30 year old computer!

It’s a woman with her arm stretched up in the air. I think I went a little too abstract with this photo 🙂 But I’m glad you like it!
kinda lost me on parts of the processing, but i’m impressed reading the details : – )
love, love the cool result
You are just “way beyond me,” Will, with how you accomplished this, but kudos for the effort and end result!
Awesome look of photoshoped image. Small size of dimension always increases the looks.
