An Earth view
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 "Chameleon mode" to get the same result with the new version. In the older versions (before v.5.0) this mode was
called Standard and applied automatically right after you launch the
plugin from the menu Filter.
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 pressing the key combination Ctrl+C in the keyboard or by calling the command Edit-Copy from the menu.
We paste the Earth into the imaginary moon landscape by selecting the command Edit - Paste or by pressing the key combination Ctrl+V.
Adjust the size and position of the Earthby calling the command Edit - Free Transform or by using the key combination Ctrl+T. You will see a frame around the inserted object that can be stretched, rotated, contracted etc. Having adjusted the Earth's shape and position, press Enter.
Finally, we apply AKVIS Chameleon Plugin by selecting the command Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon. If there were life in the Moon, the aliens would see the Earth as a wonderful blue globe:
