The "Use style" wording didn't immediately register for me that the images were clickable. I wondered why the gallery images all had the same description when they were clearly different styles!
Perhaps "Use this style" would be more expressive?
When you do click through, it shows the same image (with face) to be used as the style image, leaving me wondering if a user provided style image should just be a texture (newsprint, vegetables etc.), or an already styled image.
The "Buy a painting" button is deceptive, since it's a canvas print, not a painting. I was going to suggest teaming up with instapainting, but I see they beat you to it [1]. I guess you could always go to the source [2].
The resulting modal dialog on clicking "Buy a painting" barely fits in the browser on a 15" retina MBP, even then, the cookie info bar clips the button, so I suspect you may be loosing sales from people who can't figure out how to get to the button, especially on smaller screens (you'd be surprised!).
Clicking through that dialog brings me to an ebay page, but not for the image I selected to buy. There are a range of other images shown, but it doesn't seem to be possible to choose one, never mind the one I wanted. I have no idea what I'm buying, or how to buy what I want.
Finally I can't "Buy", I can only bid, as it's an auction, not a "Buy it now".
Oh, and please tell Michael to change his name to Andy. :) [3]

We simply have limited resources for servers, but still want to provide the highest quality possible in the free version. That's why there is a queue, but we are working hard to make the implementation faster and more efficient :)
The success message (when there will be one - there should be one instead of only the submissions queue) should definitely include an explanation, what happens next and how I can influence it. Will I get an email when my pictures are ready? Can I schedule more pictures?
I think you will have more success showing the # of people in the queue and a "jump the queue" feature.
Is there a way to build a "I want it NOW, even if it isn't that great... (and get the great version later via email)".
The public/private thing could also use some explanation "Show this on the website" vs. "Only give the result to me".
"Delete" would probably better be named "remove" as you remove the submission from the queue, and don't really delete anything that was already created.
Also, "Submit a new image" could let me choose some style images... but I bet that's already on your backlog anyway.
Nice idea, nice tool!
Unfortunately "I want it now" is not possible for the moment as the computations are really heavy and there is a lot of people who want to use it. But we also have some ideas for that.
Now our focus is the quality, regardless the cost. We increased the resolution and we try to make things faster. Later we will figure out how to make it more sustainable.
I really appreciate your suggestions.
