## What is Visionist?

​Create masterpieces at the tap of your finger.
Visionist harnesses the power of computer vision using neural networks to create original artwork based on your images!

“App of the Week: Visionist Review - The most premium arty filters app we’ve seen – and one that provides more control than most.” - Stuff Magazine, December 2018

Visionist is super easy to use. Just select an image, optionally compose your shot, then choose a style. For people that like options, don’t let the simplicity fool you; there is an infinite number of possibilities. Each style is available in three different levels of abstraction. The style can be blended with the original image in a variety of different ways, and the style strength can be adjusted from 0% to 100%.

Without any in-app purchases, Visionist includes 10 different, fully functional styles (each in 3 different levels of abstraction). If you would like more styles, an additional 60 styles are available for a one-time in-app purchase. Each style is a unique neural network trained to various artwork.

Visionist adds additional features for images that have depth data. Typically images captured using the Portrait mode in the Camera app have depth data. Note that only devices with dual-lenses and the iPhone XR support capturing images in Portrait mode. Images with depth data are saved with depth data intact, so you can post them using Facebook’s new “3D Photo” option. The results will amaze your friends!

• Live style previews
• High-resolution output (4k resolution on modern devices, 3k on devices with A7 and A8 processors)
• The free version includes 10 styles with full functionality
• A one time In App purchase enables an additional 60 styles
• Every style has three levels of abstraction to choose from
• Each style is a neural network trained to different artwork
• Additional features for images with depth data; can be used in combination:
    Focal point adjustment
    Selective Color by depth
    Mix with original by depth
    Spotlight by depth
• Depth data is preserved in output, so the output works with Facebook’s 3D Photo feature
• The strength of the style may be adjusted from 0% to 100%
• The transfer mode of the stylized image composited with the original image has four options: Hard Light, Soft Light, Luminosity and Full
• Styles can be mixed: the current result mixed with the next style chosen indefinitely; allows the creation of original new styles
• Canvas prints may be ordered in the app
• Easy to use yet offers infinite possibilities

### 5/5 — Explore your photos

*2026-06-02*

Exquisitely limited and capricious. You may never be able to predict the results, so you tend to focus (groan) on the results: Why do I like those waves there? Imagine that area bluer or more saturated. What  would this look like if I apply Luminance and bleach it out? Dear Dev, don’t change a thing!

### 5/5 — Nice Art app

*2023-03-28*

Just need to take the time to learn how to make adjustments and you can make some interesting pictures.
Thanks

### 5/5 — The best animated app

*2023-03-28, version 1.0.2*

Amazing

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-03-26, version 1.0.2*

I am very pleased

### 4/5 — Great features but so tedious to switch images.

*2022-11-13*

Fun and clever filters, but going back and forth constantly to load different images is clunky and keeps it from being a go-to tool.

### 5/5 — Easy Brilliance.

*2022-08-14, version 1.0.2*

Become Van Gogh’s protégé in just a few clicks. Finally, an app that converts my favorite photos into art and lets me be the artist I’ve always wanted to be. Fun. Fast. Fabulous.

### 4/5 — Better Than I Expected

*2022-05-09*

This app actually has landscape mode for iPad, which seems to be a rare feature for art and photo programs. While there are a few websites which can perform similar effects, the convenience alone made it worth the 4 bucks I dropped for it.

### 4/5 — Pretty Cool!!

*2022-04-12*

It’d be even cooler if things weren’t locked behind a paywall but anyway, I’m loving what can be done to pictures. The artistic touch is amazing especially if your going for a different look for your photos. Would recommend it to anyone that’s wanting to create custom works of art from photos  easily.

### 3/5 — Why does the app pause my audio?

*2022-03-14, version 1.0.2*

When clicking to go from the image crop screen to the filters, Visionist pauses my audio playback.  Why would that happen?

### 4/5 — Need more editing options

*2021-12-22*

I have just started using the paid version. Right off the top I found two options that any artist would expect. They are undo and revert. Also the current style should be highlighted. Without any visual indication or a name for the style it is hard to know which style did what
