There are quite a lot of these, basically everything that works with 
Affymetrix genechips data does it.
See the chapter on Affymetrix preprocessing in the book:

What is it that are you trying to achieve and how is that related to 
changing the shape of the clouds? Can you post scatterplots or similar 
of your data before and after normalization or be more specific about 
what you think goes wrong?
