yeah, i have mixed feeling about it, sorry i posted it. But the open source projects I've been sifting through are all broken to some extent. I was hoping someone might point out a better option than this closed source :(
This reminds of the 'Magic Eye' craze, while there's an impressive technical aspect, emotionally these leave me cold, in every case I preferred the raw image to the processed one.
Yup. From a technical point of view these style transferring algorithms are really cool. But from an artistic point of view they're dull. And these examples aren't anywhere near as good as those found here: https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style for example. Perhaps someone can use this technique as a starting off point for creating something of artistic value, but so far I haven't seen it.

Feel like something similar should be possible with a style transfer as well.
