Create a Double Exposure Effect in Adobe Photoshop

This tutorial is a favorite of mine, simply because its a money maker. Well it was untill I moved on from making posters.

You would not believe how many people buy stupid posters/pictures/writings for walls, with silly/funny/romantic (romantic and sexual things sell alot more duh)/gothic/emo sayings on them.

But this one right here was a money maker for me, and I STILL make money from it from time to time, when I can be bothered to make more lol. After you are finished editing your pic, just add a trendy phrase and $$$$$ just comes your way. Of course this depends on how well you market it and things of the advertising nature.

Tutorial Details

Estimated Completion Time : 15 minutes
Difficulty : Beginner

Resources

Man: https://pixabay.com/en/homeless-man-color-poverty-male-845709/
Landscape: https://stockphotos.design/road-landscape-mountains-1/
Birds : https://spiritsighs-stock.deviantart.com/art/Birds-15235016

But you can use whatever you want.

Step 1

Create a new document in Photoshop with the settings below:

Image

Step 2

Open the man image. Drag this image into the white canvas as shown below:

Image


Step 3

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves and set it as Clipping Mask. Increase the light and hazy near to maximum:

Image

On the mask of this layer, use a soft black brush to erase the man’s face and make the effect visible only htat the edges:

Image

Step 4

Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to desaturate the man completely:

Image

Step 5

Place the landscape image into the working document:

Image

Change the mode of this layer to Screen 100%:

Image

Step 6

Duplicate this layer and flip it vertically by choosing Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical:

Image

Step 7

Add a mask to these layers and use a soft black brush to reveal the man’s face more:

Image

Step 8

Select these layers and press Ctrl+G to make a group for them. Change the mode of this group to Screen 100%. Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer within this group to desaturate these layers:

Image

Step 9

There is an unwanted detail at the bottom of the image after flipping the landscape:
To fix it, make a new layer and pick a color similar to the background (for this the color is #bcbcbc). Paint on the indicated detail:

Image

Step 10

Come back to the man layer. Select this layer and the clipped Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Right click and choose Duplicate Layers. Move them above all layers.

Image

Step 11

Change this layer mode to Soft Light 100%:

Image

Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to reduce the man’s opacity on the lower half:

Image

Step 12

Make several layers and change the foreground to black. Use different bird brushes to paint randomly on these layers:

Image

And We’re Done!

Image

WHAT TO DO NOW?

Now that you have the basics, play with cool images to make your own art, cityscapes, landscapes, cosmic, all kinds of things. Add a saying to it, something thats trending at the moment is more likely to get sales on it. So keep an eye out for whats popular and people will surly buy it! Put it on a picture frame or poster and thats it. :panda6:

The image host I used is going to be shutting down :kat_emoji7: Sooo If you wanna keep these you might wanna copy them or something. I don't think the pics will be valid when they do. Back to photobucket for any upcoming Tuts I suppose.

Save the images to your computer, upload them to imgur then edit your post with the new links.

Now a Question...Although I do not have Photoshop that I work with as I prefer to utilize Gimp or several other editing programs that I toy with would they be done the same way or is their a difference per each and every different program?
