I got some really interesting results PSTG-ing a square truncated file at about 1250 dpi. I'll post a series over the next several days. These look very carefully cropped and composed, but no final-stage cropping or other post-manipulation was involved.
Basically, I open a truncated file in an old version of PS, crop the black space to square (which for some reason preserves the truncation, keeping the image unstable), open a bunch of other files to fill up the PS cache, and then use Unsharp Mask (lowest settings of 1 - 0.1 - 0) to "freeze" the image. Then save off the ones I like as TIFF.
Undo. Repeat. Undo. Repeat.
The more you use "undo," the more previously glitched images are saved to cache. So the process yields interesting results only up to a point, when you start to see diminishing returns (i.e. images that are too recursive/entropic and don't differ much from one to the next).
Hope this makes sense. LP cover anyone?

An example of what Daniel Temkin calls "Photoshop Truncating Glitch." Converted to greyscale and contrast-adjusted after glitching.
