An Earth view At night, if the weather is fine and the sky is clear, we can admire the Moon, the natural satellite of the Earth. Sometimes the Moon is visible even in the daytime.
What if there were life in the Moon? How would their inhabitants see the Earth?
We will try to fancy it with the help of Adobe Photoshop and AKVIS Chameleon Plugin.
First of all, we have to find a photo of the Earth taken from the outer space and a moon landscape, or rather an imaginary landscape of the Moon.
We open the photo of the Earth in Adobe Photoshop and select it with any selection tool. For example, you can use Elliptical marquee or Lasso, or select the Earth in the Quick Mask mode. Never mind if the selection is not precise.
Copy the selection by calling AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Grab Fragment. If all goes well we will see a message stating that the fragment has been successfully copied to the clipboard
We next open the photo of the imaginary moon landscape and call AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Make Collage. The AKVIS Chameleon plug-in window will open and we will see the imaginary moon landscape and the fragment (Earth) that we copied earlier, in the Before tab.
We select Chameleon mode from the drop-down menu in the Settings Panel.
We adjust the size and position of the Earth with the Transform tool  from the Toolbox.
We then press the button  to start the collage creation process and the result will appear in the After tab. If we like the result we press the button  to apply the collage to the photo.
If there were life in the Moon, the aliens would see the Earth as a wonderful blue globe:
