Creating photo collages can be a lot of fun. Especially if you use AKVIS Chameleon.This ingenious software makes the process easy and entertaining. As the name of theprogram suggests, the plug-in pastes a copied object into a picture in such a waythat the object adapts to the new color range and blends with the background, theway chameleons do.
The tool does not require precise selection of the copied object and can be helpfulto home users who are not very experienced in image editing. You can createcustomized postcards for your loved ones; make a wedding album using all kinds ofphotos and backgrounds; correct closed eyes (by implanting open eyes from anotherphoto of the series), change the appearance of a person, etc. Check the Tutorialpage at http://akvis.com to get a dozen of original ideas.
Designers will appreciate this tool as it allows them to combine images withentirely different color ranges or to create the effect of drawing on a texturesurface (crumpled paper, wood, etc), and all that with only a mouse-click.
Two modes of collage creation are available, Standard and Snapshot. In StandardMode, AKVIS Chameleon implants the pasted object into the background; while theSnapshot mode adds dimension to a collage, layering the blended components so thatthe texture and relief of the primary image can be seen through. Demonstrations ofAKVIS Chameleon features are available atwww.akvis.com/en/chameleon- tutorial/index.php .
