So I found a new databending tool. Having to go through each edit on Tenacity to make sure it works takes forever. Not to mention if you accidentally select apart of the header the image is corrupted.

https://rose.systems/sockbend/

This tool lets me try multiple attempts without having to worry about the headers and if the effect is going to fully corrupt the image. I have to change some things around between this and Tenacity. Tenacity only lets me change a selection of rows in the image but sockbend lets you adjust random shapes. However, I’ve noticed that when using gif bend masking (I have yet to try it without using the gif bend mask) the image will shift to black and white. The second bluesky post shouldn’t be in black and white. It should have the same color scheme as the last image in the post.

I do like using sockbend I can try multiple effects and the image won’t break. Tenacity will make some wild effects like with the previous seagull post but it’s so random and finicky.

Now about the image.

I took a trip down to the Bar Harbor aquarium. The staff there are fantastic. They’re super into their field and love to chat about marine biology. After you see the museum and the creatures, there is a small hike about the salt marshes in Maine. One of the view points leads to a river where I saw numerous sea birds and seagulls just chilling.
