Tutorial: AKVIS Chameleon

Fantastic collage

 

Sometimes to create an outstanding design for a book (a postcard, a poster etc) you may need to combine various objects. These objects may be absolutely alien to each other.

AKVIS Chameleon is the right tool to create such fantastic images.

We will try to combine a human eye and a sea view.

In the first stage we will select the eye and the eyebrow with the Lasso tool or by using the Quick Mask mode.

Selection of the eye

Then we copy the selection by calling AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Grab Fragment from the Filter menu.

We switch back to the image with the sea view and call AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Make Collage from the Filter menu. The AKVIS Chameleon plug-in window opens. The sea view and the fragment (eye) appear in the Before tab.

Next we select Blend mode from the drop-down menu in the Settings Menu

We adjust the eye’s size and position with the Transform tool from the Toolbox.

Insert the eye into the sea view

We press the button to start the collage creation process. The result will appear in the After tab. We press the button to apply the collage to the image.

Eye in the sea

Even though the view is a fantasy it looks very nice.
