Blazing photo of a girl
When creating a photo collage with AKVIS Chameleon you can use Chameleon mode which not only smoothes the borders of the inserted object and adjusts its color range, but also makes the object semi-transparent, so that the texture and the relief of the main image is seen through it.
The following example demonstrates Chameleon mode in action. To make a collage we use two images: a burning photo frame and a black and white photography. We will make a collage of these two photos creating a blazing photo effect.
First open the photo of the girl and call AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Grab Fragment from the Filter menu. The entire photo has been copied to the clipboard.
Next open the photo of the burning photo frame and call AKVIS -> Chameleon -> Make Collage from the Filter. The AKVIS Chameleon plug-in window will appear. The burning photo frame and the fragment (girl) will be in the Before tab.
Select Blend mode from the drop-down menu in the Settings Panel.
Reposition and resize the fragment with the Transform tool  from the Toolbox, so that she is centered over the frame. You can adjust the opacity of the fragment under Opacity in the Settings Panel in order to make alignment easier. You can change the opacity from 0% to 100% in 25% increments.
Press the button  to make the collage. The result will appear in the After tab. To apply the collage to the photo, press the button  .
