It's neat technology, but...

I'm trying to think of uses for this that aren't creepy ("manipulate... the pose of the couple... their facial expressions..."), dishonest ("photos... with celebrities..."), or dystopian ("creating new photo albums from old scanned albums... providing personalized content for user acquisition campaigns") and failing. If someone comes along and makes a fake photo of themself with a celebrity, that's great, but it's also a one-off novelty. What kind of non-sleazy recurring use is going to prompt people to pay for this?
