Style transfer
Image Studio·3 min read·Updated 2 months ago
Style transfer applies the look of a reference image (the palette, the brush strokes, the light) onto your working image, without changing what is in your working image. Same subject, new atmosphere.

Step by step
- Open the image you want to restyle on the canvas.
- Pick Style transfer from the palette.
- Drop in a reference image whose look you want to borrow, whether a painting, a photograph, or another one of your generations.
- Set the strength. Lower keeps the original mood. Higher pushes the reference all the way through.
- Generate.
Good references, bad references
- Good: a reference with a strong visual identity, meaning a distinctive palette, a clear texture, consistent lighting.
- Less good: a busy reference with many competing styles at once. Voysey will average them, and the result gets muddy.
Try a range of strengths
The right strength varies by reference. Generate three options at low, medium, and high and pick the one that lands.
