the original photographs were taken at the rr8 event in lakewood, OH. i later converted them into TIF and PSD files. those two file types bend very differently, so you should be able to figure it out without me explicitly flagging which is which.

the original photographs were taken in the wruw studio in cleveland OH during the press the button show the night after the rr8 event. i later converted them into TIF and PSD files. those two file types bend very differently, so you should be able to figure it out without me explicitly flagging which is which.
second and third bends: i first discovered this phenomenon by accident, after building myself a new computer (the current "home" computer) and moving my data over to the new machine: some bent PSD files looked different when opened on my new computer than they had on the old one! i was even running the same version of photoshop, just on different hardware. the "third" bends were created by opening the same files yet again in a different version of photoshop on the new computer. i have since used that discovery to much greater effect in later bending experiments.
*new* GIMP bends: after syntax submitted some PSD bends using the GIMP image editor, on a hunch i downloaded the GIMP and used it to reopen some of my old PSD bends. some of them indeed rendered very differently. i have marked these with italics to better grab your attention. one of these files, ptb-rr-16...jpg wouldn't even open in photoshop, but it opened in the GIMP.
