Double Exposure
Adobe Photoshop gives digital photographers creative control for their digital imaging. Since it is such a powerful image editing tool, Photoshop can be made to mimic in-camera effects from film cameras, such as vignettes and double exposures. This allows the photographer to get the effect of using film while still skipping over any wet darkroom processes. To create a simple double exposure effect in Adobe Photoshop, you will need two digital images, edited to suit your project.
Instructions
1 Open both images in Adobe Photoshop
2 Resize your images to the same dimensions. Go to "Image" on the top toolbar, and then select "Image Size" from the drop down menu. Make sure both images are the same size in pixels. You may need to crop or alter your images to get them to fit in the same space.
3 Select the image you wish to use as the base exposure. Select the entire second image. Copy and paste to the other image.
4 Adjust the opacity of the top image. Use the layers palette on the right side of the screen and double click "Layer 1," which is the top image. This brings up the Layer menu. Under "Blending Options," move the slider to the left until you are happy with the double exposure.
5 Flatten the image to a single layer by going to "Layer" in the top toolbar, then selecting "Flatten Image." Save the image.
