Wood Painting Watch a flash movie demonstrating the photo collage technique.
AKVIS Chameleon allows pasting an object into a background so that the background
texture is seen through. In the following example we will show you how to paste an apple into a wooden surface so that it looks like if the apple was drawn on this rough wooden plate.
We will use the photo of a wooden plate on the left as a background, and the photo of a juicy apple on the right as the object to transfer.
Follow the instruction to create the effect of painting on a rough surface:
- Step 1. Open these images in Adobe Photoshop.
Note: You can also use any other photo editor compatible with AKVIS Chameleon. In this case you should select the apple with the selection tools available in your photo editor (not with the Quick Mask mode: Steps 2-6) and go directly to Step 7 of this tutorial.
- Step 2. Switch to the Quick Mask mode by pressing the button
 (Edit in Quick Mask Mode) in the Toolbar or the Q key.
- Step 3. Select the Pencil tool from the Toolbar by pressing the button
 or the B key.
- Step 4. Paint the apple in Quick Mask mode using a hard edge pencil (Hardness 100%).
- Step 5. Switch back to the Standard Mode by pressing the button
 (Edit in Standard Mode) in the Toolbar or the Q key.
- Step 6. Invert the selection by calling the command Select - Inverse or by using the key combination Ctrl+Shift+I.
- Step 7. Copy the selected apple by calling the command Edit – Copy or by using the key combination Ctrl+C.
- Step 8. Switch back to the photo with a wooden
surface. Take a snapshot of the image by calling the command Filter
- AKVIS - Chameleon (Take Snapshot).
- Step 9. Paste the copied image of the apple into the wooden background with the command Edit - Paste or with the key combination Ctrl+V.
- Step 10. Adjust the size and position of the apple. Learn more about the transformation tools of Adobe Photoshop.
- Step 11. Apply AKVIS Chameleon by selecting the command Filter - AKVIS - Chameleon (Use Snapshot).
As a result our photo collage shows an apple drawn on wooden surface.
In the same way you can create paintings on crumpled paper, unbleached linen, etc.
