The next neural filter is the color transfer one and this one will definitely help you with an appropriate color palette every time you will start a new project. It must be quite time-saving and convenient to adjust the color of an image.

To use this filter, you have to use color or gradient overlays. Gradient Maps can help you as well in this function. All these functions were available before but this new color transfer filter with the beta version definitely makes it more useful than before.
