Photo retouching and style matching<\/a> (not to be confused with Prisma <\/a>-like Instagram filters) is challenging work that requires a trained eye and hours of labor. At least, it was, until AI took that job, too. Researchers from Adobe and Cornell University have showed off an experimental app called \u201cDeep Photo Style transfer\u201d that can transform your image from drab to dramatic using someone else\u2019s photo.<\/p>\n

As shown above, using it is pretty simple \u2014 you just select a photo you want to change and one with the style you\u2019re trying to emulate. The AI does the rest, applying the color, lighting and contrast of the example photo to the original. It can transform a lake photo snapped in the most boring light possible (above) into one that looks like it was taken at the golden hour on another planet. In another example it transforms a daylight city shot into a much more interesting nighttime scene.<\/p>\n

The researchers built on the \u201cNeural Style Transfer<\/a>\u201d work done by European researchers. They refined it so that the style transfer only happens to colors and doesn\u2019t distort objects in the picture, like previous deep learning systems. In other words, it can pick out which part of the image is sky and which part is ground, so that the sky doesn\u2019t \u201cspill over\u201d into the rest of the image, the team says.<\/p>\n
