Definition
Glitch effect adds offsets, fragmentation, or color-channel shifts to a finished image. It does not determine an actual malfunction, capture device, subject, or narrative.
In more detail
It indicates deliberate image-processing disruption. It is distinct from compression format, capture failure, local retouching, and compositing.
Includes
- Deliberate offsets or fragmentation added to an image or region
Excludes
- Actual device failure
- capture-time blur
- image compositing
What this does not imply
- Actual failure
- a particular device
- subject
- or narrative
Variability
The general source does not directly substantiate failure in a specific device or encoding method.
Usage and adjustments
Usage
- Adjust disruption strength separately
Distinguish similar expressions
