Tutorial: AKVIS Chameleon

The Swan Lake

 

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.

 

Below is a wonderful photo of a lake. It would be yet more wonderful if we put there some swans.

These three swans seem unhappy in their foggy lake. We will transfer them to the beautiful lake from the photo above.

First of all, we should select the swans. In Adobe Photoshop you can use the Lasso tool. You do not have to make a precise selection of the swans; never mind if the water falls into the selection as well.

Then we copy the selection and insert it into the first photo of a lake. After that we change the position and the size of the swans.

We see that the swans stand out in the background. We should use AKVIS Chameleon to adjust the inserted swans to the new environment.

Select the swans

We start AKVIS Chameleon and wait a bit (the processing time depends on the size of the inserted object).

As a result, the swans look native to the lake.
