A folder of photographs becomes a likeness.

You bring the photographs. Then you make the pictures.

Get Likenor $69, once. Windows and Linux.

Start with photographs you already have.

Add 20 to 30 photographs of one person. Likenor repairs them and prepares them for training. It scores each one and suggests the best, and only what the likeness needs. It says when the set is enough. You decide what stays.

The Review step in Likenor. 23 photographs will train, 1 is set aside and 4 will not train.

You choose where it is trained.

Your photographs stay on this computer unless you opt into a cloud run, and a cloud run leaves this computer for a third party Likenor does not own.

Train on this computer, with its own graphics card. Or turn on Likenor Cloud, when the graphics card is not enough or you would rather not wait. Likenor Cloud is off until you turn it on. The app shows what a cloud run will cost before it starts. When the likeness comes back, the copy in the cloud is deleted. Likenor does not keep it.

Likenor Cloud is offered in Europe. How Likenor Cloud works.

The setup screen in Likenor. It reads: Ready to train a likeness. Where the work runs offers this computer, Likenor Cloud, or both.

Start the run, and leave it to work.

The settings are already chosen. There is no stack of knobs to guess at. Before it starts, Likenor says how long the run will take. While it works, it shows the time it will be ready.

You can close Likenor. Training carries on. On a home graphics card a run can take hours, and Likenor Cloud is there when you would rather not wait.

A training run in Likenor at 56 percent, with the time it will be ready and the readings of the machine.

Your likeness is ready.

Likenor tells you when the run has finished. Then it makes the first picture of the likeness for you.

Likenor when it opens after a run. It reads: Good morning. Eleanor finished training at 02:04. The likeness is ready to see.

Describe a scene. Likenor makes the picture.

Write it in your own words, or start from an idea: a formal portrait, a sunlit garden, rain at night. Choose the shape and the size. Every scene is set for an adult subject, and Likenor never guesses a gender from a name.

The Scenes screen in Likenor, with a scene described in words and ideas to start from.

One finished scene.

The picture is the proof. It comes back to you. The likeness is yours. You own the rights. You may sell it, within the Terms.
