Description

A downloaded high-resolution version of Mona Lisa taken into Photoshop where the lady was selected then put through Content-Aware Fill (a Photoshop CS5 tool that automatically generates content based on the existing surrounding content and fills in the selected area). The resulting image is a potential landscape as interpreted by the software. The image was sent to a painting manufacturer in China where an oil painting was produced.
