Style 2.1.0 was available as a giveaway on January 13, 2017!
Utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, Style App will take an image or video and apply a predefined graphic style to your media.
For example you could make a style transfer of Vincent van Gogh’s “starry night” and an image of your dog to create a master piece! It also works on any video.
It’s easy to use and you can chain styles together for more style combinations. Over 20 styles to choose from and more being made every week. And because Style runs offline, you can process high resolution images or videos any time you like.
See examples.

Mac Backup Guru has 3 main functions: Direct Cloning, Synchronization, and Incremental Snapshots. All of them can handle anything from small amounts of files & data to massive amounts.
Clean Disk is a simple utility for deleting unnecessary stuff from your drive. It frees up a little drive space, and more importantly it speeds up your browser and your OS when it’s starting to feel bogged down. It also shows you every file you have ever downloaded – even in private browsing mode – and allows you to delete this list that your OS keeps. It is not needed and better cleaned up from time to time.
Install Disk Creator simplifies creating a bootable OS X installer.When you install a new major version of OS X, or after some time has passed, it is a good idea to do a clean install (that is, to erase the disk you are installing OS X onto as part of the installation process). That will make your Mac run blazingly fast for a few months or more, and many people report that it fixes longstanding problems they’ve had too.
Has anyone succeeded with video? I've tried several over many hours all of which got to the end before showing an error. I can't choose (or even tell) where or what file it is writing. Will stick with it for a little while longer to see if a solution materialises.

Not a bad program for what it is. I didn't have rendering issues speedwise, but I do have a fairly new system. My big complaints are the issue with not being able to select what drive it gets installed on. I have a small ssd for my os and a larger sata for programs, so I'm not thrilled with this program taking up space on my limited os drive. The other thing I'd improve is having more filters to play with. The amount they offer is okay, but if I were going to pay for this I'd expect at least 3-4 times as many filters. Also kind of sucks that you have to uncheck the watermark thing. After I tried a few filters I looked at the pics in the destination folder and saw the watermark. As if anyone wants that in the final picture.

Installs into the user's directory (Win10 x64) with apparently no facility for changing the location. Thus, to have it available to two accounts on the computer, I had to install it twice. This doesn't seem to be the optimal use of system resources.

This software is simply awful, downloading took nearly an hour, although installation was quick. Messed about with some photos and the results were reasonably good, but when it comes to doing video clips, it is so slow, and very heavy on resources. After letting it do it's thing for nearly five hours it hadn't come anywhere near to completing the task .... Holy shit five hours for a 50 second video clip! I find it hard to believe that any software selling at just $9.99 has any AI or Neural Networks, hell I'm surprised the developer was even able to spell AI!
Save | Cancel
After running it through its paces here's what I found. Very limited options including the inability to designate the directory in which the results will be stored. Huge 317 MB program that is processor and memory intensive. First attempt froze my quad core AMD processor with 8 GB of memory. After reboot turned on Lasso Pro (another GAOTD) to track processor and memory usage. First program I've ever used that consumed all of my memory and quad processors were running approximately 75% on all four. Takes 2-3 minutes for end result and thought program had frozen the PC again but it was just busy. End results are interesting and I am going to continue experimenting with different contexts to determine which results provide the most worthwhile end product.
If you have the time and memory and processor to use the program it might be worth taking a look.

What a great simple program. I was having fun with it in 5 minutes. That is how long it took to process my photo. I guess it is time to get a quad core with 12GB so processing time can be kept at a minimum. I reinstalled it once because I thought it crashed. I did not notice the processing bar across the bottom. Thanks for this one GOTD now you need to get Jet Screenshot on board for another freebee.

Installed smoothly on a win 7 pro 64. Tried out every sample and didn't like the results on all but 2 of them the edtaonisl did it's job but the ascii's pissed me off, that is in no way ascii period it looked like a frozen matrix black and white snapshot that had nothing to do with the photo underneath the gibberish lettering. The rest of the samples came out looking like transparent masking textures laid on top of picture that did nothing for the picture or even part of the picture, abd made it hard for me to see. In all honesty if they don't improve the program I wouldn't recommend a program like this. All in all just throwing lines on top of a picture in a pattern didn't feel so artsy or intelligent to me, Saw no WOW factor. I'm not inclined to use this perhaps a someone else that makes their living on photos may use this but... No they have programs that do a better job than this. Sorry GAOTD this one is not a winner to me, it needs more work.

This program is a joke "Utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks" the developers must have been popping some sort of smarties when they thought this description. If it is using these then can anyone explain why this takes hours to render small video clips. It neural networks and AI were employed then it would be done in jig time not hours. Think I can smell lots of BS here.

Garage Man,
I think that everyone wants to hear your opinion, but it is rude and pointless to use derogatory language about the devs or the software. You can just state what the problems are, which will give us more information. JMHO

Ok I gave this a thumbs up, I had some fun with it, but it has its faults. I love these artsy rendering types of softwares and grab any that GAOTD offers. Some are good some are great. This one lies somewhere in between.
Fortunately I have a W7 64 machine so it installed for me, but I only have 5G ram and my machine is pretty old so it's not the fastest on the block. My first attempt, like those that came before me, froze my machine and required me to hit the RESET button to reboot. My next attempt I squished my test photo (a photo of one of my granddaughters) down to 303 x 448 pixels, cropped. I held my breath, and hit the PROCESS button. I have a mini memory monitor on my taskbar and I watched the image being created while the whole time it gobbled up my ram. Fortunately, it finished in about 30 seconds after using about 75% of my RAM and VIOLA, my new rendered image popped up. It was COLORED PENCIL LINES, and really was pretty awful. I tried to change the px drop down box, but really can't figure out what that's all about, I think you can choose the output size??? I also tried using my image colors, same crappy result.
Then I began to test all the other styles. Some of them were absolutely stunning, especially the really weird artsy ones like, CANDY, COLORFUL WORLD, COMPOSITION, OUTLINE, PSYCHEDELIC, STONE ART. Some worked better with my image colours, others better with the pallet from the master work. The ones that didn't work, were pretty much awful.
I don't know if any of these renderings will ever make their way to a 'canvas' and displayed, but I did enjoy the process. It IS simple, maybe too simple? Where is the tutorial, maybe a little bit of adjustment would be nice. Perhaps with a little pre-processing with Photoshop to change the tonal range or something would help, but in many of my attempts it looked like STYLE couldn't get a good handle on where the lights and darks should be. Some areas were way too dark and black.
All in all, this isn't a bad piece of software. For ten bucks, it's well worth it. With some adjustment, it could be a real winner.

Barney Rubble, Here's a link to a sample thumbnail type screen grab I made. While you are rendering and trying the different images, STYLE is saving them all. After testing, click on the image rendered and it will take you to the file location.

Thank you GAOTD brilliant bit of kit that is worth buying, if your processing power can handle it.

Sorry but...this is the weirdest image/video related app i've ever seen here. I don't mind its not standard installer, with no way to choose where to install, and program that occupies more than 600 mb of precious (to somebody) space, its video processing functionally is a failure, to say the least, the program itself basically has no parameters to customize, and i'm still struggling to understand what it has to do with Neural Networks, but that's just me, anyway, see for yourself.
Save | Cancel
Changpu,
"i'm still struggling to understand what it has to do with Neural Networks..."
IMHO a LOT has to do with how someone defines Neural Networks, & as the developer says, AI. I think to many people both would mean connecting to vast online computing resources, e.g. ongoing work & software at Microsoft & Google for real time voice translation. Yet the voice recognition that appeared in Windows 7 might be considered a neural network by some because it learned a user's particular voice & way of speaking.

The app installed fine although just stalls my system completely, at first it was a small glitch then again it froze up totally. Had to shut down and reboot manually as is the same as everyone else almost. You could wait for a patch/update I suppose but the current version seems not to work at all when you run the app. It looked promising though.

Windows 10/64-bit. Installation was so easy from the download file and registering is just a matter of entering the code shown in the included text file.
The program itself is very simple with next to no controls other than a Load button, some sizing options and a series of filter effects on the right. No other editing is possible - as someone else said, some basic options like brightness, contrast and vibrancy would be appreciated but these could be performed in post production in any competent graphics program if needs be.
Files are saved to a pre-determined location, I would have liked a choice in the matter but that's a small point. As pictures are saved they are given the original filename plus the name of the filter used. If you use several filters these names are appended in the order applied too - a nice touch if you find a combo you like as you can easily recreate your steps.
I tried several image files with all but one working well and quite quickly. The one that failed took longer to process (several minutes) then failed to save. No crashes, though, as others have reported. Of the ones that did work some of the effects were disappointing but I also found quite a few that were fun and truly a bit "arty" and rather nice.
A fun bit of fluff to while away a few minutes, if you like that sort of thing. :)

Download took long time. Installed OK. Registered OK. Ran the program once using an image. Took quite sometime to complete but did. Not very desirable results. While running, program used 97% of PC's memory. That's the reason for all of the crashes noted in here.My memory usage never exceeded 50% since I have this PC. Prog not written very well. Did total uninstall. A waste of my time was this garbage program.

I like this program. The installation was smooth and registration with the supplied serial number was effortless. It is a fairly good replacement for the Online versions of the Dream-style form. It is 64 bit and I can't think of many computers out nowadays that aren't 64 bit. I found it to be pretty quick to process photos. I haven't tried a video yet but I will.The settings options are somewhat limited but the online producers of this form of photo editing are not much different. The only thing I would appreciate is to save the completed images in a folder of my choosing. I like how I can go back to my original image and use a different style and create a new additional image. It would also be nice to add my own photo styles to the list. I really am happy to receive this program from GAOTD and MacDaddy.

Paul, as hard as it is to imagine, there are many of us who bought a "64" bit computer only to find that it really is a 32 bit. My laptop often "reports" itself as 64 bit but won't install anything but a 32 bit program. It is a HP "Premier Experience". I have been enjoying this "Premier" HP experience for about 2 years. Last time I "save" money with HP.

Father Richard,
"... there are many of us who bought a "64" bit computer only to find that it really is a 32 bit. "
IF it helps at all, there are 64 bit CPUs that, probably for cost savings, are used on boards with 32 bit Bios etc. However AFAIK they're a bit rare -- I've only seen it myself on cheaper Windows tablets. According to the chart here the last 32 bit x86 CPU was an Intel Atom in 2008 -- wikipedia[.]org/wiki/X86
You might verify whether you're running 32 bit or 64 bit Windows, & if 32 bit, Google to see if the device will run 64 bit Windows. And 64 bit Windows, unless it's broken, will let you install both 32 & 64 bit apps.

Downloaded and installed very quickly. There's virtually no learning curve as there are very few options. I'd like to see the ability to make basic adjustments to the photo before processing (brightness, contrast, color balance). And it would be nice if you could choose where to save the pictures.
Having said that, I'm impressed with the results. There are freeware tools that do this kind of thing to photos, but the results here are really nice. I haven't tried a video yet, because other commenters have warned about the long wait. I'll try a short clip when I have more time. But I've tried many photos and the results are fairly quick and very satisfactory. While limited in what you can do, I don't think $9.99 is asking too much. All in all, I'm pleased with this.

No prob at all with the download (about 3 minutes with the Ant Downloader) and easy install. Tried a few pics.
Some of them came out with quite stunning results. I notice there are very few adjustments or setup options available. Other than that, nice program for free. I have i3 gen 6 with 128 SSD, Windows 10.
Also it seems to choose all destinations for install and saved pics/vids, with no options to change. That should be fixed. As Andrea previously mentioned, .....It's actually saves them automatically under "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Pictures\style" on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 ..

No undo button, there is only [back] which takes you 1 step back only.
In settings there is only one thing you can change, it's whether it will show its watermark or not.
Maybe video processing would take less time on Mac OS but on Windows...
It'd be nice to apply an effect by double clicking on it, instead of clicking on it and then hitting [Process] button.
And i have found no way to save the image! It's actually saves them automatically under "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Pictures\style" on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 .. and "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Pictures" on Windows XP (Not sure).
In a word, this program is not for everyone.

After downloading and installing the first time the program was run it failed to open. On the second attempt it opened but crashed during the rendering process.

Wishing to try Style on a video, I modestly chose a 33 second one and dragged and dropped it in the main window. It said my video had 24 frames per second, found a total of 999 frames (not my math, but whatever...) and started working on them. It took between 45 and 50 seconds for Style neural network to process each frame. My own human neural network being reluctant to compute exactly how long that would make, I only considered it was in any case way too long for just a comment on GOTD and cancelled.
So I tried less ambitiously on pictures. I really liked the results, with patterns I hadn't found in other similar creative image processing programs. But that was only pictures...
(Don't forget to uncheck "Show watermark" in the license window. I didn't really mind having it on my first picture, but I would really have been pi**ed off to find it on my video after 15hours+ of processing...)
In short, Style is probably excellent software if you are a pro, semi/pro or if you have the computer/time/motivation required to create an artistic video. Otherwise, you can have fun creating pictures, although it is underusing it.
