Interesting, a program that steals images off the net to create your own original work.

Sweet !

That is cool, don't get me wrong, it is an impressive system, but it doesn't take into effect lighting which can kill the realism if it isn't right. If the lighting on the dog is different from the man, the background and the frisbee, then those elements look out of place. Also I wonder if it has a device that seeks out whether or not the image is copyrighted and filters them out. :Big Laugh

Sorry for being critical, it is impressive.

It's impressive but I have a hard time seeing a practical use for it really. I mean, if you intend to use it to create images for commercial use, then I would think there are all sorts of ethical questions that come up.
I'm guessing it would really be hit or miss, mostly miss in using photos that really work well together.

 

[petepaz]

but if you are stealing a bunch of pictures and putting them together in your own special way aren't you creating a new original artwork?
(will that stand up in court)

It might fall in the lines of "using software to circumvent copyright"

You would hope...but you know there's lots of people that could care less.

The technology at work is far more impressive than the results it's producing, well I guess it's a combination of both.

I can see this being used within photo repositories...

I would have to agree.
