Tutorial: AKVIS Chameleon

Fantastic collage

 

The example was made in the old version of the Chameleon plug-in.
Now the technique of using AKVIS Chameleon is different, but the result will be the same.

Consult the article "Blend mode" to get the same result with the new version. In the older versions (before v.5.0) this mode was called Snapshot and applied automatically right after you launch the plugin from the menu Filter.

Sometimes to create an outstanding design for a book (a postcard, a poster etc) you may need to combine various objects. These objects may be absolutely alien to each other.

AKVIS Chameleon is the right tool to create such fantastic images.

We will try to combine a human eye and a sea view.

In the first stage we will select the eye and the eyebrow with the Lasso tool or by using the Quick Mask mode.

Selection of the eye

Then we copy the selection by calling the command Edit - Copy or by pressing Ctrl+C on the keyboard.

We switch back to the image with the sea view and take a snapshot using the command Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon (Take Snapshot).

We insert the eye into the picture with the sea view by calling the command Edit - Paste or by pressing Ctrl+V on the keyboard. We adjust the object's position and size using the command Edit - Free Transform.

Insert the eye into the sea view

Now we apply AKVIS Chameleon by calling the command Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon (Use Snapshot).

Eye in the sea

Even though the view is fantastic it looks very nice.
