Cool softwarething but it made me think when I heard this:

"from photographs received from the internet"

Anyone see problems with this? Wouldn't that fall under creating illegal derivative copies ?

It's pretty hot news and apparently developed in China.

Karl. "Illegal derivative copies..." Sounds like the least of the problems.
And they have the temerity to imply that the end-product is some sort of a phot-oh!!? Or in any way creative?
Thanks for bringing it to light, though. [Despairing sigh.]
Somebod(ies) must have been paid heaps to produce this crap. But maybe it wasn't meant for people that frequent forums like this.
But that's only my humble opinion. (Or is it? How do I know my opinion wasn't virtualised by somebody else using such an aid?)
Am... (At least I think I am.)
