Tutorial: AKVIS Chameleon

Help the dove

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.

We will use these three images to create a photo collage: a fire, a dove and hands. The photo of the fire will serve as a background image where we will add the dove and the hands.

First, we will transfer the hands into the image of the fire.

• First of all, we select the hands with any selection tool. In Adobe Photoshop the easiest way is to use the Quick Mask mode;
  
• copy the selection (the command Edit - Copy or the key combination Ctrl+C);
• paste the selected hands into the main image (the command Edit - Paste or the key combination Ctrl+V);
• change the size and position of the hands on the background (the command Edit - Free Transform or the key combination Ctrl+T);
  
• apply AKVIS Chameleon plugin (the command Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon).
  

Now, we select the dove in the same way,

copy the selection and insert it into the photo with the fire. We change the size of the dove using the transformation tools. Here you can read more about transformation and moving of objects.

Having changed the size of the dove, we should find the right position for the dove on the picture. The position of the dove depends on the idea you want to convey.

Apply AKVIS Chameleon plugin by selecting the menu item Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon.
