Double exposure: creating spectacular double exposures from two photos
When the camera blends two subjects into one another for an image, this is known as a double exposure. This double exposure effect can also be simulated in Photoshop by blending two photos taken independently of each other. Dozens of manual edits are required to achieve a convincing result. Alternatively, we recommend our Photoshop action, which automatically and artfully interweaves your motifs .

For photographic works of art that tell a special story

Whether in a private, professional or purely artistic context - with the double exposure effect , you are sure to create some eye-catchers. For example, combine a portrait of a relative with a motif of their hobby. Create blog images for a company website that stand out from the usual plethora of images. Or examine your photo collection, let your creativity run wild and simply combine what you think belongs together.

Perhaps you could even use Double Exposure to intertwine completely contrasting motifs? You can use the action to quickly implement your image ideas or try them out first without wasting too much time.

It's that simple: import the Photoshop action and insert your photos

Double-click to import the Photoshop "Double exposure" action and the brushes into Photoshop. Then open the photo with your main subject, for example a portrait, and set it free. Now start the action and add your background image (e.g. a landscape). Shortly afterwards, your two original images will be blended using a double exposure effect . Do you think this is brilliant? Then take a look at our other Photoshop actions.

Double exposure - tailored to your images: Customize the double exposure effect

Once the action is complete, all the layers you have created are available for further adjustment. This is a huge advantage if you want to further adapt the result to your wishes . For example, change the background color or adjust the overall color mood of the image using already prepared gradient conversions.

If necessary, you can subsequently move, align or resize the background image. You also have the option of optimizing the interplay between the main motif and background image with brush strokes. The Photoshop action thus offers you both at the same time: a considerable reduction in the workload when creating the double exposure effect and enormous freedom to customize the final image.
