I think that the combination of computer vision (being able to identify &amp; classify image content) + application of style + editability is really promising.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy, and please let us know what you think!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/butterfly.jpg\" alt=\"Butterfly sm\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" border=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"butterfly_sm.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/butterfly_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Butterfly sm\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google&#8217;s been talking about non-destructive, mobile\/Web photography for a long time, but until now the benefit has been mostly theoretical: You could apply edits to your images, but you didn\u2019t have an interface for adjusting edits or moving them among images.
