How to turn your photos into works of art
Google details Art Transfer in a publication on The Keyword . The company explains that this allows you to “apply the characteristics of well-known paintings to your own images.” Featured artists include Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Edvard Munch and Leonardo da Vinci.
To use the Art Transfer function:
- Open the Google Arts and Culture app.
- Tap the Camera icon at the bottom center.
- Click on Art Transfer.
- Take a photo or choose one from your Camera Roll.
- Choose an artistic style to apply to your photo.
Google will apply the art style to your photo. You can then choose to display it as a still image or as a GIF. Or, by clicking on the Scissors icon at the top right, you can select a part of your photo to transform. When you are finished, you can save or share the results.
It’s fair to say that the Art Transfer feature produces mixed results. I chose a photo of myself and applied different styles to it. Some worked very well, while others did not work at all. So be prepared for some trial and error.
