Double Exposure Tutorial: Pixomatic Online Photo Editor
Pixomatic Online Photo Editor is available on Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
Step 1: Upload a Photo
Choose an image of a landscape, preferably one that contains trees or flowers to add colors and patterns to your image. You may choose a photo from your gallery or from the integrated stock photo libraries.
Step 2: Adjust Photo
Select Adjust in the left panel and increase the brightness, contrast, and gamma values.
Step 3: Add Photo
Select Add New Layer to add a second image. Upload a portrait of a person; the background should preferably be neutral. You may upload your own photo or choose one from Pixomatic’s integrated stock photo libraries.
Step 4: Integrate Photo
Adjust the size of your image and fit it over your background image by dragging one of the corners upwards or downwards to resize it.
Step 5: Apply the Double Exposure Effect
That’s the most exciting part! Click on Double Exposure in the left panel and select the blending mode in the right panel. The most common mode for double exposure images is Lighten. We will choose that for this editing tutorial. Move and resize the second layer, then hit the apply button.
