Lecture:  Double Exposure

This class instructor gave us an explanation of the way double exposure and picture blending modes are used in photoshop and the visual effects they can achieve, it was a very interesting class and a very important technique in the future of photoshop editing.

The use of this technique can achieve a lot of manpower can not be done but can make up for the visual effects with post-production, but also I personally very much like a way, more can be used in the collage picture, the most common point of view is that we usually see to the picture of the production of special effects.

In the actual production of many tools and layers can be used to replace, the producer can try one by one after choosing the most appropriate one, so that you can be familiar with the difference between the layers and tools, but also the flexible use of technology, rather than rigid sets of formulas.

Tutorial & Practical : 

Part 1 : Follow the video's instructions and make your first attempts using the materials provided by the instructor.

Part 2 : Take a full body photo of yourself and use the same technique to place yourself in the background material provided to be able to better understand and use the technique.

My process: 

The first step in creating this is to snap out your image and place it into the background image, resizing it to the right size.

Adjust the colours and shades of the character image to blend in with the ambient colours of the background image, remembering to select matching colours for ease of operation.

Use the Brush tool to draw the shadows of the character, adjust the transparency to make them blend in better, and don't forget to use Gaussian Blur to make the shadows more natural.

Duplicate a task layer and invert it, use the pen tool to select the part in the water to create a selection, in order to create a reflection in the water, use the layer mask and adjust the brightness, colour and Gaussian blur to make the reflection in the water more realistic. This is done.
