Hacking RAW and MOV files with HexEdit

The first image is a horrific valentine, as originally designed by me for this project. For the second, I calculated the numerological equivalents for the birthdates, social security numbers, and names of my last and current boyfriends (for the record, i have only one current boyfriend). In the RAW file's hex, I replaced all instances of the ex's values with the corresponding value for my sweetheart du jour (ahem*du year). I was hoping for some mangled up valentine. Instead I got this fairly tame hue shift. BO-Ring.

There will be more to come, as I have ideas for other, hopefully more interesting, hacks.
