Lately, neural networks have become very popular, but in fact they have been present in our lives for a long time, they just worked in a different way. For example, image editing apps were available long before the development of social media. Many people didn't hesitate to use effects right on their phones, but with the use of neural networks, such programs have become much more accurate, allowing for more natural-looking images. We've found a great app for you that creates anime-style photos - even those who are skeptical of such software will love it.
Loopsie is a popular neural network-based photo editor for iPhone that has risen to the top of the App Store rankings. Its main feature is the ability to create anime-style photos, and it also offers other interesting effects such as blurring, creating a three-dimensional image or adding an antique effect.
However, there are some limitations: in the case of video, it must be a short clip of a few seconds. If you upload a longer file, the app will prompt you to select the desired segment manually. The most popular effect in Loopsie is the "Horrible Video", which turns the person in the photo into the Joker. To maximize the effect, the clip should be shot in portrait mode, as for the other effects. In my opinion, the most impressive result is the fantasy style photo treatment.
The app also provides the ability to create anime from photos, processing not only faces but also surrounding elements with high precision. It adds interesting clothing elements, which makes the result unique. Overall, the processing results look very good and can be used for printing and framing. The great thing about Loopsie is that it processes photos so well that there is no need to take high quality photos with a smartphone with a powerful camera.
If you're active on your social networks, you'll love video effects that not only change the appearance of the people in the frame, but also transform the world around you. For example, you can use these effects to turn a panorama of a city into a drawn cartoon. And the most interesting thing is that you don't need to perform complex actions for this - just upload a file and wait for neural networks to process the photo. However, all these features are available only after paying for a subscription, and the duration of the video should not exceed 3-5 seconds.
When you first launch Loopsie, you'll be offered a paid subscription, but you can use the neural network photo editor on your iPhone without it by simply tapping the cross in the corner of the screen.
You can then browse the available free effects in Loopsie and you'll notice that most of them are labeled "Pro". However, it's worth considering that the app won't let you use the free effects all the time - only 3-4 attempts are available in the trial version. It's interesting to note that on Android, Loopsie doesn't offer the ability to try out features before paying for a subscription.
After processing a photo with Loopsie, we get an interesting image that looks like it was drawn in the style of a cartoon. However, Loopsie, like other neural networks, has its own difficulties. For example, it can misrecognize objects such as a cap and hat, or turn a phone into a tube. It can also have problems processing fingers and eyes.
Also, sometimes it misidentifies the hairstyle and doesn't notice the tuft of hair in the image. Despite this, the overall result is an interesting anime photo that can be used as an avatar. Even low-quality photos, overcompressed and taken in poor lighting, are processed by the AI and transformed into good images.
