Photosounder is a spectrogram editor and synthesizer. It turns sounds into images and images into sounds, thus allowing for powerful sound processing to be done in an image editor.
Photosounder allows you to open sounds and images, process them graphically and hear the results. This can be used for such tasks as instrument/vocals removal/isolation, applying various original or classical sound effects, sound design, denoising, operations between sounds such as removing a sound from another..

I found it very fun running images into it actually. It didn't get a canon .cr2 file, though, I had to convert it to jpeg first. The documentation has numerous typos and could elaborate on image formats for importation, and there are other items that could certainly use some clarification (which I did figure out eventually).
The program seems to do two principle things convert images into sound (and also to sound-image files), and convert sound files (mp3, etc.) into image files that are then editable. I think they called this image-of-sound a spectrograph (?).
For the Non-commercial license at $60, I could see a non-pro customer base (which could make use of improved documentation). Overall, it was a fun app, unfortunately, my workflow for potential usage takes a little more time than I can dedicate to a new computer function. I could see however JUST using it for translating images into sound, which would be very quick by itself... but there are so many tempting features (a good thing) it would be hard to stop there. For me, it's a Wish I Could (dedicate my time to) app. I'm sure there are plenty out there that would love it.

Photosounder is a far better choice, even at $175.
