Maybe I’m not seeing something, but is there a way to run a single filter on a collection of different images?
What OS (why do people never say?)
At present on Windows you can use the CLI to manually build a batch file. Actually this is possible on all versions of DAE with some messing around.
On Windows the comman looks something like this…
c:\dae\DeepArtEffectsCli.exe artfilter -input “c:\dae\cli\chosen-bloke2.jpg” -output “c:\dae\cli\0001-chosen-bloke2.jpg” -stylename “photography”
That takes the input image and creates the output image using the style ‘stylename’
At the most mundane level all you need is to copy the one line and change the input and output filenames - that’s rather time consuming of course.
If you google something like “process a directory of files windows batch” you’ll get some pointers in the right direction
I’m in the process of releasing a DAE speed-up program (make it 2-4 times as fast on the CPU version) and after that intend to write a fully featured front end to DAE that does things like process a load of images all at once
Keep your eyes on https://peardox.com for updates
Done the release of my “Make DAE go faster program” - had a last moment hiccup with the Linux version so ended up putting that one on hold for a day or two.
Think I’ll play with batch processing soon as you and I are not the only ones who want this.
Mac or Windows then?

I suspect that there are others who would like to batch process collections of images. The command line technique is just a bit cumbersome for me, especially for processing lots of images. I thank you in advance for your doing it whenever that is.
I use both Mac and Windows, but my current Windows machine is much faster than my aging Mac Pro, so I’ll vote for a Win version (Win 10).
Thanks.

I’ll be doing exactly the same stuff the command-line version does, I’m just going to slap a GUI over the whole process to hide what’s going on behind the scenes 
Mac Pro or MacBook Pro?
If a Mac Pro - one of the Dustbin models or older than that? I fancy trying to get StartDAE working on that!
I’ve got a MacBook Pro Late 2013.
Fancy helping me out a little?
Click the Apple symbol in the top left hand of the screen then ‘About this Mac’ - that’ll give me basic info about the machine.
Then can you download https://software.intel.com/en-us/download/download-maccpuid for the Mac then click File -> Save To File the results and email it to [email protected]
This will let me build a StartDAE specific you your model of Mac - I strongly suspect that there will be a change in the speed.
I’ll be building this stuff into th next StartDAE - CPUID is a quick work-around
Sure, I would be glad to help. (I had sent you an email on your site asking for a direct email address, but this will probably do fine.) I should say that if and when you develop your GUI for DAE batch processing, I personally would much prefer a Windows version. My Mac Pro desktop is a mid-2010 and getting very long in the tooth, even though I did upgrade the graphics card last year. My Windows machine is brand new. I built it myself last year and it is several times faster than my Mac (which I still love just for the OS).
Here is the “about this Mac” display.
I couldn’t attach the MacCPUID file to this email for some reason, but here is a paste of its contents:

I should also mention to you that I began the process of installingCUDA and cuDNN on my Win 10 machine according to your excellent directions on your website. I haven’t finished yet, but I did get an error message during the CUDA installation saying that my hardware may not be compatible, possibly because it may be too new. (As I mentioned, I just built it late last year.). So in case you are interested, I attached a DxDiag output file for that machine.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
And thanks again.
–Joel
Couldn’t attach the DxDiag.txt file for my Win machine. If you would like to see it, send me an email address I could use.
