PicsArt Windows app adds AI powered photo effects
\
\
\
\
\
For the past couple of years, smartphone hardware manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, HTC and Nokia have combined their meticulous camera lens designs with advanced software manipulation to produce eye-popping images for everyday consumers.
\
However, as cloud computing becomes more ubiquitous and abundant, customers should begin to see a similar level of software manipulation trickling down to app developers who don’t have access to the direct hardware but can still produce incredible works of art.
\
One such company making use of software manipulation is PicsArt for Windows, in the form of AI-Powered Magic Effects.
\
“Today, we’re happy to announce a new PicsArt for Windows with AI-powered Magic photo Effects that will transform your holiday photos into amazing works of art…
\
PicsArt’s new Magic Effects use artificial intelligence to transform photos into creations that resemble handmade paintings. There are more than twenty available in PicsArt today, ranging from Wonderland — which turns your photos into frosty landscapes — to Money — which makes snapshots look like they were printed on dollar bills. We’re releasing new Magic Effects every week, so keep an eye out for new releases.”
\
Magic Effects aren’t the only new thing coming to PicsArt for Windows. Windows users can also partake in the new Challenges page being added. Challenges promises to offer a mishmash of community voting, holiday-themed drawing competitions and editing comparisons for users.
\
Last but not least in the announcement list for today’s update is the new filter photo effect called Off Grid. Off Grid adds a retro tiling effect to images that help punch up photos and expand users creativity.
\
\
For those looking to explore the more creative side of photo editing, be sure to give PicsArt new update a try in the Windows Store today.
