Double Exposure Artwork (2nd Attempt)

in #creativecoin5 years ago

I was surfing the web earlier today and something caught my attention - Double Exposure Images. The striking contrast and complementary nature of two fused images is rather remarkable.

So I started doing some research and realized that I have some software that can do the trick - Pixelmator. I reviewed this tutorial and then I was off and running.

My first attempt was a great learning experience, but not worth posting for the Steem community. My second attempt was better because I was able to highlight the outlines of the horse well, and the two images I choose worked well together.

Check out the final result:

I used the following images to create the end results

Basic Steps to Recreate:

  1. Remove unwanted color from horse background. I used the Quick Select tool in Pixelmator.
  2. Decreased the saturation level and increased the lighting level on the horse image.
  3. Added the second image to the project.
  4. Selected the second image and choose Create Clipping Mask.
  5. Reduced the opacity of the second image.
  6. Repositioned the second image for the best look and feel.

I will definitely be adding more "double exposure" artwork in the future.

Thanks for stopping by!
