The behavior at low strength is not what I would expect. There are very strong effects on the input image. Those effects are independent of the style applied.
But it is awesome.

[1]: Assumptions about the 'quantity of art' inherent in painting versus photography seem to be playing a role. Both are typically flat images and are computationally fungible. So maybe photo styled to photo might be a different training set. It's not that radically different from etching applied to photograph.
[2]: anyway, still an awesome project. What I imagined is something that could have subtle effects on a photograph as an artistic tool for photographers...because that's my bias.
