INSTRUCTIONS
PROJECTS
Double Exposure
I started by opening the provided image on Photoshop. After that, I select the portrait with the magic wand tool and click on select subject and select and mask.

For the next step, I added the trees on the womans face. I also used clipping mask to make the silhouette of the trees look like the face of the woman.

The background color needs to be changed to match the color of the silhouette. So, I used the eyedropper tool and select the color.

After that, I use the brush tool to unmask a part of the portraits face.

To start, I select my photo to refine the edges on my hair with the refine edge brush tool.

Then I added a picture of a forest I found on Google to use it on my head.

Not to mention, I masked my hair so that my face can still remain human-like.

Next, I added a gradient map and curve layer on top to change the color of the entire photo.

I also added some details like clouds and birds I used on the previous exercise to add more depth to the photo.

Lastly, I feel like the shirt I was wearing at the photo did not really fit the image, which is why I masked my shirt and changed it to a waterfall, to make it more nature-looking.

REFLECTIONS
Double exposure is something I have never work on. It is something I still struggled with before watching the tutorials. However after following the directions from the slides and videos provided, I got the hang of it and finally understood the task clearly. I also learned that by painting on a masking layer, It can unmask the layer which I find pretty useful. Also, I get to create a quite cool-looking artwork using my own face. In the end, even when I really like how my work turned out on this task, I still need to learn more and upgrade the quality of my works.
