How to Make a Simple Black and White Double Exposure in Photoshop

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a quick tutorial I put together on creating a double exposure effect in Photoshop. It's a simple technique that combines two images into one for a cool, artistic look. You'll need a couple of photos to start with—think of pairing a portrait with a landscape or an object with a texture. The idea is to overlay these images and play around with their blending to create something unique.

In the tutorial, I walk you through the basic process, including adjusting the opacity to blend your images and applying a black and white adjustment to give it that classic double exposure feel. There’s room to experiment with different blending modes and adjustments to see what works best for your images.

This technique is great for adding a creative touch to your photos or graphic projects. It’s fun, straightforward, and the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re a Photoshop newbie or just looking to try something new, this tutorial is a great way to dive in and get creative with your images.

Give it a try and see what you can come up with. Happy creating!

Cheers,

Mr.Camera
