Chameleon v.5.0: Photo Montage Creation

We are glad to announce the update of AKVIS Chameleon to version 5.0. This version offers more opportunities for creation of photo collages. Now the program has three modes: Montage, Chameleon and Blend.

The advantage of the program is that one does not need to make precise selections to create a realistic montage. Look at the tutorial on how one combines two images in Montage mode.

In Chameleon mode (earlier called Standard) the program adjusts the pasted fragment to the target image color range and smoothes the fragment's borders. It looks similar to the way a chameleon adapts to the environment.

In Blend mode (earlier called Snapshot mode) the program does not only smoothes the borders of the pasted fragment and adjusts its color range, but it also makes the object semi-transparent, so that the texture of the background can be seen through.

Besides, new to version 5.0:
- Now the program has an interface (earlier Chameleon was applied as a filter). The plug-in window allows adjusting settings for each collage mode and moving/tranforming the pasted fragment. It is posible to save a fragment and use it for other photo collages.
- Now the way the plug-in works is the same in all photo editors. Consult the list of compatible photo editors.
- Chameleon is now Universal Binary. It runs on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers.
- Compatibility with Photoshop CS3 on Intel Mac. Please note that the support of CMYK Color Mode is temporarily disabled.
Download Chameleon now in Windows or in Macintosh version and test the program for 10 days free of charge.

This time we charge a fee for the upgrade to version 5.0 for every license type (from 15 US dollars for Home license to 60 US dollars for Business license). But the users who bought the program last month can upgrade for free. Read more on the buy page.
