How can I convert or turn photo into art painting?

Using Python scripts with StyleGAN2/ADA is a powerful and flexible way to generate artistic images from photos, and it is completely free if you have some technical skills. StyleGAN2/ADA is an advanced generative adversarial network developed by NVIDIA, capable of creating highly realistic and stylized images, including turn photos into art.

How to get started for free:

1. Set up your environment:
   Install Python, CUDA, and dependencies.
   Or, use Google Colab notebooks that already have the environment pre-configured.
2. Use existing scripts:
   Download pre-trained models.
   Use scripts for image inversion (to encode your photo into the latent space).
   Apply style mixing or editing for artistic effects.
3. Style Transfer:
   Use scripts that perform style transfer directly, turning photos into art.
