A fairly new app for the Mac is 'Any DeepStyle - Art Filters & AI Photo Editor'. New in August this year it has been on sale for up to $14.99 but at the time of writing is a free download. According to their description:
Any DeepStyle is a cool revolutionary app that combines neural networks and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to transform your photos into impressive works of art using 80+ diversified filters & styles, including Mosaic, classical, anime, comic, modern, traditional, abstract, Cartoon as well as your OWN styles. Not a single App or Photoshop plugin can be comparable to its strong capacity to turn your photos into artworks.
A few examples from a couple of hours trying it out:
Processing goes through three stages. First a quick rough preview is shown then an HD version ending with a Full HD processed picture. For me the HD version sometimes looks more pleasing than the Full HD one. It is possible to save either though the HD one is a smaller picture when saved. This is not the fastest photo processing app. A lot is going on behind the scenes but that means a longish wait sometimes when changing either of the main parameters (Intensity and Density) as the processing starts again from scratch. There are many other parameters. Some are added to various preset choices but any can be added at any time and adjustments made with those are shown in real time on the finished picture.
Very impressive - but I still can't afford a Mac!!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly and dragon treatments are stunning
ReplyDeleteThis is fun and looks to have possibilities. The Dragon works well as does the cricket pitch. The propensity to Halo is always a problem with HDR and high contrast areas. I find that using the original layer around trees and careful masking can help.
