The Chameleon plugin has two separate components. The first piece allows you to grab a selected digital photo (or a defined selection in one) as a fragment. After doing this, you would select the photo or image that you want to use as the background of your final project and use the Make Collage component of Chameleon. From this point, you can make all sorts of modifications to adjust the position, size, and blending of the initial selection into the background image.

I was very impressed with how quickly and easily it was to perform these tasks within the Chameleon interface. While it is certainly possible to achieve similar results without the use of the plugin, it would take a lot of effort and time as well as a great deal of skill and knowledge concerning the tools in the host editor. Chameleon greatly simplifies the technique, making the entire process more artistic and fun rather than technical and frustrating.
