Use original colors in an image generated by fast-neural-style

original_colors.lua

-- this program takes an original image, such as a photo,
-- and a generated image, such as generated by jcjohnson/fast-neural-style
-- and copies the original colors to the generated image
-- like when using the original_colors param in jcjohnson/neural-style

Maybe I should experiment a bit with blending the channels. I'll keep this in mind.

Do you have this code in python?
