Hey there,

Was wondering how to create a double exposure effect?

EG… (if a photographer has overexposed the inside of a house and the windows are burnt out). Is there a way of bringing them into equal exposure?

Is this possible by taking two photographs of different exposures for inside and out and merging them as seperate layers?

If so, how is this achievable???

Hope this makes sense and someone can offer me assistance 😀

Use a tripod to get your two exposures captured. then drag one of the images on top of the other and use the snap- to command to get them perfectly matched. after that hit the layer mask icon and you can then paint in just the parts you want added. i am busy right now,so hopefully you can try or someone else will guide you further if needed.
