Let's imagine a simple picture – you are a good, kind guy or girl, you have family and friends. Some of them use regular push-button phones, others use smartphones Android, and still others probably use devices Apple. You lived well and communicated well with all your friends, both those who are on the 'android' and those who love the 'iPhone'. Until the 'prism' appeared. Since then, there is no question of any normal communication with the owners of Apple iPhone, because they spend all their free time converting their photos in the Prisma application and showing them to you and everyone else. You as a respectable smartphone user on Android cannot afford the same, because Prisma is not ready for Android (yet). How to live on? There's an answer!
Especially for you (in fact, for myself), I devoted a whole day to searching for analogues to the Prisma application for Android. Installed and tried over ten different (terrible) programs, tried online services and even applications for Windows (for a computer, yes!) That need to be installed. In addition, almost every application and service required registration. In short, it was not easy! But now I can issue an authoritative opinion. The good news is that the owners of smartphones on Android can join the general (world) hysteria around the transformation of photos into pictures stylistically similar to paintings by famous artists. The bad news is that for this you need at least a browser on your smartphone, or better, just a laptop or computer, because a worthy analogue of the Prisma application is the deepart.io online service.
As in Prisma, the service processes images using neural networks – you upload a picture and specify in what style it should be executed, then the system redraws it in a given style. The difficulty is that the service spends a lot of time on each such operation. In the case of Prisma, no one discloses data on how much power is involved so that users can actually receive finished work in real time. In the case of deepart.io, it can be seen that the capacities are not the most impressive. Six months ago, the service took up to two days to process one image, today everything is much better – free processing takes 20-30 minutes, paid – 10-15 minutes. At the same time, at the output you get a small image (preview) of about 600 × 400 pixels. If you wish, you can buy it in higher resolution (HD) for 20 pounds sterling or in very high resolution for a lot of money – 150 pounds.
The thing is actually interesting, however, the popularity of Prisma is so high and users are now using the application so actively that many of these processed photos that have flooded social networks have already become boring. But if you also want to give it a try and don't have an 'iPhone' at hand, then deepart.io is a good option.
P.S. In early July, the developers promise to release a version of Prisma for Android. Eh, let's live!
