pretty soon you won't need illustrators anymore

it's a cool app tho

 

[Impotaku]

My link only looked good with one filter.

Me likey, still after that other Link Nendroid.

 

[Vilam]

Rad, I'll snag it when it comes to Android.

 

[GSG Flash]

Really cool filters on this app, much better than the shitty filters on instagram.

No Android? Fuck off app devs

Android version is coming in a few weeks.

 

[23qwerty]

Seems to serve a completely different purpose from instagram filters so I'm not sure how it makes them look lame

 

[TimeEffect]

How quickly will this be bought out by google or facebook

 

[TheGameshark]

Wow that pretty sick

 

[JP_]

Tested it out on a few of my instagram photos. Really neat.

 

[Electric Eye]

Love it goth even more gothier

 

[sikkinixx]

How soon until Facebook, Google of Apple buys them?

 

[fierrotlepou]

Those filters look like the default filters you can use in Photoshop. They suck, sorry.

 

[BlueLiquid]

I just played around with it a bit. Just note though that the photos aren't processed on your device but on their servers, and their TOS says that they can use the images you create for their purposes. I don't know how standard such a clause is in this type of app but I thought I'd mention it.

They must have really improved those default filters in recent Photoshops then.

 

[Insane Metal]

That is pretty fucking amazing!

Pretty standard fare. Not a big deal to me, but definitely something some people are going to be paranoid about.

I just went to download it but they spelled their company name on the App Store as "Prisma labs, inc" instead of "Prisma Labs, Inc" so I didn't bother.

That second pic tho. That's a penis

Edit: all of them actually... lol

For $5 billion.

Looks like a snail with a penis-shaped head. Like something out of the Persona series.

 

[Razorback]

Do you think this will kill artists?

Not all artists, only the kind that does this sort of art. The modern art movement came about as a reaction to the invention of photography. Perfect realism was something a machine could easily do, so artists had to innovate and do something else.
Now machines have caught up with them again.

 

[UrbanRats]

Nice

Painters on suicide watch.

Spoiler

Nah, but really impressive.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Neat app. Will get old quickly though.

 

[Jzero]

Neat app. Will get old quickly though.

Yup i already don't want to use it again.

 

[| Praxis |]

Hate the first, like the second, LOVE the third.

p excited to try it out

Wait... You hate the first, but like the filters?

Are you joking?

 

[The Real Abed]

This is pretty impressive. I just wish it could be done on bigger photos and non-square aspect ratios.

Candy is pretty darn awesome.

 

[cacildo]

Ia it out for android?

 

[BlueLiquid]

Yeah, I see Instagram has pretty much the same clause word-for-word, so probably not a big deal. I noted someone complaining about that part of the TOS in a review on the App Store and thought I'd check it out.

Anyway, this is pretty impressive tech. Just playing around I took put one photo of an Amiibo through the Mosaic filter and now I think I'm going to have to do them all:

That's really nice how it found all the little details in the rocks and brought those out and varied the color on Wolf Link. Really cool.

 

[SRG01]

Those filters look like the default filters you can use in Photoshop. They suck, sorry.

Any examples??

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Servers are getting hammered

 

[sqwarlock]

Really like how this one turned out.

 

[VisceralBowl]

By the way, how do you guys pronounce VSCO? I say Visco but i don't think i've ever heard any official pronunciation.

Their name is "Visual Supply Company" and all their online videos pronounce it the same way as you.

I know somebody who says it like "vee es see oh."

 

[User 463088]

One of my cats.

 

[sprsk]

I took some of my photos and made a few pics. Shocked at the results honestly.

For $5 billion.

Considering that Google open sourced the original code...

RIP Artists

This stuff isn't gonna replace artists anytime soon. Artists (in particular those working digital) will have to adopt tho.

There is already a noticable shift towards parametric, procedurally driven tools in 3D art. I think it will only be a question of time until someone releases something along those lines for illustrations. Imagine a software that allows illustrators to author fully customizable effects like those filters from scratch, while maintaining creative freedom over the results. It will be less and less about moving the mouse oneself but more and more about feeding the computer with instructions of what it's supposed to do for the artist.

In the end all this means is that anyone, including complete noobs can make something that's halfway decent because it is computer assisted but proper artists with all their skill, creativity and experience will still come out on top of it and push towards new boundaries.

 

[Vyer]

Looks pretty fun.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Either the filters don't load or it just stuck on "creating artwork"......

 

[Lights and Waves]

I feel like I've already had my fill of this by browsing through this thread.

this.

 

[SPEA]

Gotta say. Very very cool. Software is impressive.

 

[yencid]

This would be great for album covers for sure.

 

[JORMBO]

Neat to play around with. I think it will get old quick.

The question is whether or not the general public will even care, about the remaining discrepancy between an amateur using software as a crutch, and a professional with years of mastery behind him.

Mastering a craft is good and all, but if the only people who care are the ones in your own profession, it's going to be a problem.

I remember when my teachers joked about graphic novels only being bought by other comic-book artists.

Ah, thanks!

This is almost witchcraft.

Is this being rendered locally on the iPhone or some sort of cloud based thing going on?

EDIT: nvm. It's entirely done in the cloud going by the description.
