How Local Style Transfer Works
- Our local style transfer technology uses advanced segmentation to isolate the masked area
- The AI analyzes the content structure within your selected region while preserving its relationship to the rest of the image
- Style features such as color palette, brush strokes, and textures are extracted from the reference style image
- These style elements are then applied only to the masked area while maintaining natural transitions with surrounding content
- The system ensures that the styled region integrates harmoniously with the unmodified portions of your image
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between global and local style transfer?
Global style transfer applies an artistic style to your entire image, transforming everything with the same aesthetic. Local style transfer, on the other hand, allows you to selectively apply styles to specific areas or objects within your image while leaving the rest untouched. This gives you much more creative control and enables unique visual compositions that wouldn't be possible with global styling.
How precise can the masking be?
Our masking tool allows for very detailed selection, enabling you to outline specific objects or regions with precision. You can adjust the brush size to work on fine details or larger areas. The system also includes intelligent edge detection that helps create clean transitions between styled and unstyled areas, even when your mask isn't perfectly precise.
Which types of images work best with local style transfer?
Images with clear subjects and good contrast between elements work particularly well. Photographs featuring distinct objects, portraits with clear backgrounds, or landscapes with well-defined features (like mountains against sky) are ideal candidates. The more clearly separated your subject is from its surroundings, the easier it will be to create an effective mask.
Can I apply different styles to different parts of the same image?
Yes! You can process your image multiple times with different masks and styles to create complex compositions. For example, you could apply a watercolor style to a person in your photo, then process it again with a different mask to give the background a sketch-like appearance. Just be sure to save your work between each styling operation.
How many credits does local style transfer cost?
Each local style transfer operation costs 1 credit. You can view your remaining credits in your account dashboard. Multiple styling operations on the same image will each use 1 credit.
