A computer-implemented image manipulation apparatus and method () configured to receiving an input image () and a desired style. The method can obtain a representation () of the input image selected from a plurality of stored representations of a plurality of images, wherein each said representation comprises data describing a set of image features. The method can modify image features in the obtained representation to correspond to the input image and/or the desired style to produce a modified representation (), and render a reference image () based on the modified representation. A manipulated image is generated by performing a style transfer operation () on the input image using the rendered reference image. Embodiments may access a data store to find a group of stored images based on similarity between image content descriptors of groups of stored images and those of an input image to retrieve a stored reference image.

Image manipulation method and apparatus

Apparatus for determining configuration settings for a display apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor where the processor is configured to determine configuration settings for a display apparatus in dependence on one or more first input parameters indicative of one or more conditions that affect a user experience when a user views content reproduced on the display apparatus, predict an expected user response as a result of operating the display apparatus according to the determined configuration settings, search for an updated set of configuration settings that are expected to produce a user response closer to an intended result than the predicted user response, and control the display apparatus to operate according to the updated set of configuration settings.
