In this tutorial it teaches you how to do a double exposure in Photoshop with two images. The most common images used to create this effect is using a side portfolio of a person on a white background and nature as the second image. The first step is to separate the person from the background, using the channel with the most contrast it was duplicated by dragging it into the new icon. then go to Image>Adjustments>Levels then move the mid tones and shadows sliders towards the right to dramatically darken the image without having the darkness move to the background. After with the brush tool in black the remaining highlighted area was painted black. Click RGB layer to return to the normal, after Select> Inverse, then paste the clipping onto a new layer and fill in the background with white. Then apply a mask to the landscape and CMD+Click the thumbnail of the portrait layer, then apply a layer mask to the clip of the landscape. Adjust the image of the landscape to get the part of the image you want to show in the portrait. Go back to the original portrait and have it be B&W, then have a soft brush filled with black to reveal more of the landscape for the desired look. Then the eyedropper was used to find a colour from the sky to use to fill in for the background.
I found this video to be a bit complicated since I am not 100% familiar with Photoshop up to date. So to me I found the video to go too fast and it was hard to follow along with all the steps. But I do find this Double Exposure technique to be very interesting and artistic, and that this can be used for many things.
