Below you will find instructions on how to do it with AKVIS Chameleon.

    Note: If you work in the standalone version of AKVIS Chameleon just use the pencil tools in the program to draw red and blue outlines. They are available in the plugin version too. With these tools you can draw the contours and edit them. But for the plugin it's possible to transfer the selection from the graphics editor. Here we describe how to make it in the plugin.

  • Step 1. Open the photo of the girls in Adobe Photoshop. Here is a photo with a tattoo.
