Photoshop Double Exposure Tutorial
This is a brief tutorial on how to create a double exposure using Adobe Photoshop.
1. Make sure you have your 2 photographs ready in a digital format
suitable for Photoshop (PSD, JPG, TIF, etc.)
2. Open both photographs at the same time in Photoshop.
3. Decide which photograph will be your background and which will be
your foreground.
4, Using the move tool, drag your "foreground picture" on top of your
"background picture" and drop it. It will become a layer on top of
your "background picture."
5. Using the move tool, adjust your top layer until it is on top of
your bottom layer exactly the way you want it.
6. In your layer window, be sure "Layer 1" is selected.
7. In the top right hand corner of the layer window there is a feature
called "Opacity." Click on the arrow beside 100%. This will reveal a
slider that will allow you to make the foreground layer opaque.
8. Adjust the opacity for the desired effect.
