1. LECTURES
DOUBLE EXPOSURE 
- Double Exposure photography refers to merging multiple images. The goal is to make them surreal, emotional, or humorous. They usually feature silhouttes.
- It may look complicated at first. But it's easy to make in-camera and in Adobe Photoshop. You don't need a double exposure camera, as there are a few other ways you can create them. You can transform ordinary photographs into powerful masterpieces.

- Tips to make your double exposure looks better :
  1. Using Tilt- Shift Effect : (Filter - Blur Gallery - Tilt - Shift) if you want to be extra creative, blur one of your photo instead of the entire image.
  2. Create Fake Reflections : you can make reflections by creating double-exposure with the help of a separate window photo.
  3. Experiment With Simple Potraits and Details Textured : combining something plain with something complicated will give you a balanced result. It will also save a lot of simple photos that you might discard.
  4. Convert To Black & White : a lack of colour will gives them a unique depth and allows you to experiment with something interesting just like film photography.
  5. Work With Silhouette : Silhouettes would give you a fun and doable challenge also opportunity to show very creative sides of yourself.
  6. Pick Two Random Photo : two photo then combine it together. your results might create a story of their own, one that others will find encouraging.
  7. Make Simple Objects Look Fascinating : A silhouette of a dull-looking building could become the outline of a starry sky.
  8. Use Shadow : Shadows are as effective as silhouettes in this genre. They’re fascinating to work with.

IMAGE BLENDING MODE
- Working with blend modes is almost always an experimental process. Because it’s nearly impossible to predict the results, you always seem to end up experimenting with different modes and Fill Opacities until you get the results you’re looking for.
- Type of Blend Mode Groups :

- Most commonly used blend mode is :
  1. Multiply : Darkening
  2. Screen : Lightening
  3. Overlay and Soft Light : Contrast
- A particular blending mode works really well on more difficult subjects like glass, smoke, fire and lightning.
- Quick guide to used blending modes :
  1. Select the layer of images you want to blend
  2. Go to blending mode option
  3. Select "Screen"
  4. As a result, it would be selected as Screen blending mode.
