Naw, misanthropy would suggest that the universe exists to annoy people in general. I'm pretty sure that any annoyance of people other than me is merely collateral damage. Add in the fact that when I entertain notions of creationism at all, I am a pure solipsist, and you get a nicely accurate model for my behavior, attitudes, and, scarily, experiences. :)
Ah. I was aware of the HDR plugin in PS CS2 (yet another example of the universe annoying me--I had designed just such a plugin, using almost exactly the same algorithm, and had started talking with a developer buddy of mine about actually writing it, when I discovered it already existed.), but I haven't used it myself yet (still on PS CS). I can see how it could easily be used to produce hypersaturated colors, but doing so would initially be a failure of the process--HDR imaging defaults should be to produce "realistic" color saturation.
As a side note, I have gotten similar effects by scanning some of my old negative film that has deteriorated slightly, and spent a good deal of time trying to mitigate the effect. :)
