Like Pokémon Go, Prisma has been an instant hit with users, which has overwhelmed its makers' servers and led to protracted processing times and even moments where the service is unavailable. Prisma does a conversion and a transformation that truly alters a picture, generating a distinct and refreshingly new creation every time. Again, this sounds like the stuff of cheap gimmicks, but the difference is simply one of quality. Edvard Munch's The Scream, Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, and Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa are just a few of the dozens of signature looks that you can apply to your photo.
The way it does this is with the help of neural network processing - the same stuff that helps Google's Deep Dream algorithms detect objects in scenes and generate nightmarish impossible terrors - which intelligently manipulates your image to turn it into an artwork of a particular predetermined style. Well, Prisma isn't doing anything to change the simplicity of its predecessors, however it's gone a long way toward eradicating the issue of predictability and uniformity. Art isn't supposed to be a one-click or one-tap affair, and it certainly isn't supposed to be repetitive. Both Photoshop and Instagram, however, suffer from being obvious overlays that are easily recognizable when the manipulated photos are shared. Instagram's trick was to create subtler overlays than Photoshop - which could completely obliterate a photo with its most extreme settings - and to focus on the most essential and eye-pleasing enhancements (more contrast and saturation are to photos as more bass is to music).
Those filters were around long before Instagram arrived on the scene, setting a sort of template for what was to come.
It's one of the most immediately accessible parts of the world's best photo-editing app, and it transforms pictures almost instantly with practically no work or skill required by the artist. Anyone who's dabbled with Photoshop will know about its Filter submenu.
