New in AKVIS Chameleon 5.0 (Oct 10, 2007)
- 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.
- 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.
