Topaz Labs announced AI ReMix - the first AI style program available on desktop:
AI ReMix utilizes the flexibility of custom neural networks to create specialized artistic models based off of real art styles. More than the typical use of AI, it’s the first of Topaz Studio’s ‘Artistic Intelligence’ adjustments available in Topaz Studio.
Use AI ReMix to quickly change the direction a piece of art is headed. Don’t like the color palette or the overall style of your image? Apply one dose of AI ReMix, and the possibilities will start opening up again. AI ReMix will quickly match shadows, highlights, and various feature sizes in your image with the data contained in our Artistic Intelligence models, and transfer the style in our model to your image.
AI ReMix currently comes with 32 custom-trained “Artistic Intelligence” models that use custom neural networks to analyze and apply any of these distinct styles to your image, including 3 different strengths that modify each style that can be applied. We’re also in the process of adding more and removing the less impactful models. When combined with sharpness, smoothness, color, contrast, and brightness controls, as well as over 20 blending modes, AI Remix adds a completely different kind of artistic tool to the already powerful toolbox that Topaz Studio offers.
