A new application from Russian developers will allow you to travel back in time and order a portrait from Picasso, Dali and other masters of painting.

There are thousands of photo stylization and artistic applications in the App Store, but most of them just overlay a set of filters on top of the photo. Prisma differs from them in that it completely redraws the image using complex algorithms of neural networks and naturally turns it into a picture.

You take a photo, choose an artist's style and in 2-3 seconds you get a real masterpiece.

It is not possible to configure individual options for each filter, but on the other hand, it is not necessary. Prisma now has 20 presets that match the styles of popular artists, which are recognizable at first sight and which are enough for experimentation.

The choice of filter should be approached responsibly: each of them corresponds to certain scenes and will look bad on inappropriate pictures. For example, Mononoke is great at converting photos with curved lines, while Gothic is brilliant with lots of detail. If you guess right with the preset, it will turn out very cool.

I won't tell you anything else, you are probably already eager to try Prisma yourself. Finally, a few examples of my experiments.

The app is currently only available on iOS, but should be on Android soon.
