Chapter 9 Exercise1: Double exposure in photoshop
"Double exposure" is a professional photographic term that means multiple exposures on the same negative. This mysterious and indescribable visual effect is the favorite style of countless photography lovers. Moreover, many cameras are also equipped with a "double exposure" function for the needs of fans. However, when we get two ordinary photos, in fact, as long as through a few simple PS design, also can achieve the "double exposure" effect!
Multiple exposures can be taken in different Spaces and at different times to meet the needs of artistic creation. Images can be overlapped, or with the help of a screen, so that the images are connected without overlap.
There is an example in "Herry Van der Weyde's image of the actor Richard Mansfield as Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde."(Burrough and Mandiberg,2009) As early as in the era of film SLR, many photographers and photography enthusiasts superimposed two or more lighting negatives together through double exposure to achieve the purpose of increasing the illusory effect of pictures. Furthermore, in the overlap, you can also zoom in or out of the picture, this digital "stack" way significantly increased the convenience of double exposure.

In photoshop it is simple to make a "Double exposure" image. I used two landscape photographs to create a double exposure.By means of double exposure, two or more lighting negatives are superimposed together to increase the illusion effect of the image.
The first step is to open two images together.
