Tutorial: AKVIS Chameleon

A Coffee postage stamp

 

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.

 

In 2002 a postage stamp dedicated to coffee was issued in Brasil. It had an inscription "Brasil coffee" and showed coffee beans and a coffee cup. Besides, the postage stamp had a delicate aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. The stamp was disigned by local artist Vera Pilotto da Silva.

Now we will try to create a similar design with AKVIS Chameleon, though without the coffee aroma. Below we have two images: a coffee cup and coffee beans.

A cup of coffeeCoffee beans

First of all, you should select the cup of coffee with any selection tool.
(Learn more about selection tools of Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint).

The easiest way to select it in Adobe Photoshop is to use Quick Mask mode. Do not forget to select the shadow of the cup as well.

Select the cup of coffee

Having selected the cup of coffee, copy the selection and paste it into a new layer of the picture with coffee beans. Adjust the size and position of the cup. In Adobe Photoshop you can call the command Edit->Free Transform.

paste the cup and change its size and position

Now start the program AKVIS Chameleon and see the result.
