We are going to create a greeting card with ripe cherries using the Blend mode of the AKVIS Chameleon. In this mode, the program does not only smoothes the borders of the inserted object and adjusts its color range, but it also makes the object semi-transparent, so that the texture and the relief of the primary image can be seen through.

You can use AKVIS Chameleon in its standalone edition if you wish. In this case, instead of steps 2-4, 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.
The AKVIS Chameleon window will open. The background and fragment (cherries) will be visible in the Before tab.
Select the Transform tool in the Toolbar and change the size and position of the inserted fragment.
Click on to apply the collage and return to Photoshop.
As a result we see the following greeting card with ripe cherries.
