Just to clarify: you started with the pic of the 2 guys and created the fading effect used to color the writing with pca?

That's pretty awesome, I think the final effect is very pleasant to the eyes.

I opened a small PR - scipy was missing as a requirement (I'm guessing you already had it installed, and didn't stick it in requirements.txt)

This looks interesting. I was wondering if you could explain a little more about what information about a picture this transform is exposing? I mean, if you look at just the output image, what kind of insight can you gain into the original input image?

The script merely remaps the pixels in the input to new locations via PCA. I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean by "2 guys" or "color the writing".

For some paintings I think you can get a sense of what paints the painter used.

The two guys on the page you just linked. The colored writing on the page you just linked.
