FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

AKVIS Chameleon Blends With More Speed In V.2.1

February 25, 2005 - AKVIS Chameleon V.2.1 for Macintosh and Windows=99
is now available.

Every year, increasingly powerful digital photography tools expand the
opportunities for ordinary people to produce works of art. AKVIS LLC
has been in the business of designing the most intuitive and powerful
digital photo editing software since 2004 and has completed a series
of refinements to its image combination application, AKVIS Chameleon.

Operating as a plug-in to photo editors including Adobe Photoshop,
Photoshop Elements, Jasc Paint Shop Pro and others, AKVIS Chameleon
makes the insertion of new objects or the replacement of unwanted
elements in digital photos simple even for users unskilled with photo
editing software, since this tool does not require precise selection
of objects. AKVIS Chameleon adjusts inserted objects to the new
background, automatically adapting and blending to the new color
range.

AKVIS Chameleon creates photo collages in two modes, Standard and
Snapshot. In Standard mode, one click automatically drops a selected
item into a photo, adjusts it to the target color range and smooths
the borders. The Snapshot mode layers the blended components so that
the texture and relief of the primary image can be seen through.
Demonstrations of AKVIS Chameleon=92s features are available at

The V.2.1 release of AKVIS Chameleon features image processing speed
up to 30 times greater than its predecessor while requiring far less
memory consumption. The program=92s messaging and help features are now
available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian.

Registered users of previous versions of AKVIS Chameleon are eligible
