Above image is the output from a new script that I'm working on which is similar to other scripts that I've created recently but rather than working on a folder of images it grabs an image from your screen , hex edits it ( if you say yes), divides it into a grid of images and reassembles it rotates it in a random direction , then grabs another image from the screen and uses gmic xor to combine the first and second images. It does this and saves the image into new folder and carries on until you ctrl c the script. It requires imagemagick, scrot gmic cli and at the moment is linux only and runs from a bash terminal. Script below is very much a work in progress use at your own risk. ( ps my scripts can now be found on codeberg here )
