Purely a sandboxy tool based on the fractalicious generator:
Can input an image or can sketch stuff up, and consequently can also alter existing images with some kind of pixel paint tools.
Noise is grayscaled so colors are preserved, however the averages algorithm is still in play.
Has a "preserve" slot which is presumably the ocean -- keeps any color in the preserve slot from altering itself. This should also prevent averaging effects.
Colors vary themselves according to specified ranges.
Has a "salt" characteristic that changes the seeding algorithm and also varies over time, things can be resalted manually but the main takeaway here is that colors can stay within their ranges but generative effects can still work.
There should be a way of upscaling low-scale changes so that an image slowly morphs itself without successive downscaling/upscaling. This would I guess stabilize somewhere eventually.
I guess optimally make it a 1:1 pixel scale and no borders.
Images should be re-rezzed to whatever is sanest.
The final image should be able to be exported
The ZBB and particularly the collaborative fantasy thread should be a pretty good advertising target herein.
