It would be nice if this algorithm could be created in a more localised form, so that you could take a photo and apply the effect with different intensities as if you were using a brush.

Merely because sometimes it gets things wrong, and I think a normal human could correct things if they had more control over the process.

Can surely be done with the original neural style transfer algorithm. You'd just have to use a soft mask over the picture when calculating the content loss function.

Don't know if there's an analog way for fast style transfer.

As I mentioned in another thread, there is some work on this: https://github.com/alexjc/neural-doodle
