Chameleon Mode
AKVIS Chameleon works in five modes: Montage, Chameleon, Blend, Emersion, and Double Exposure.
In Chameleon mode, the program adjusts the inserted object to the target image color range and smoothes the object’s borders. It looks similar to the way a chameleon adapts to the environment.
