There are many ways to copy the hand into the new document we are using to assemble the double-exposure. One method is to use the Move Tool to drag the hand layer (in this case, the Background layer is the hand layer) into a different document. Click on the Move Tool in the Tool Panel (or press the V key on your keyboard), then click on the hand image and drag it to the center of the double-exposure document we created in step 1. After you have copied the hand into the double-exposure document, you may close the hand01.jpg document.\n

\nAlternately, the hand could have been copied and pasted using Select > Select All, then Edit > Copy, and finally clicking on the new document before choosing Edit > Paste. Layers can also be dragged from the Layers panel into another open document.<\/div>\nNotice that when the hand is dragged into the double-exposure document it appears very large. The hand file contains more pixels than the double-exposure file does. We did this on purpose for two reasons: 1) To demonstrate that the number of pixels in a document has a noticeable affect on the way that the file is previewed in Photoshop\u00ae and 2) To distinguish the hand, originally a digital photo (the camera we used stored a significant amount of information), from the new working file that we generated in step 1. You can always create a new file with a higher resolution value, but for exercises that will not be printed it is faster to work in a file with resolution no greater than the screen. The larger the resolution, the larger the file size; and larger file sizes require greater computer processing power. Larger file sizes, requiring more processing power, tend to slow down the work process. In a learning environment, we try to avoid hindrances.<\/li>\n \t![\"Screencapture](\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/designandproductionforpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1096\/2020\/08\/c9-ex1-3-1.png\")
In the Layers Panel, double-click on the name \u201cLayer 2\u201d to rename that layer \u201chand01.\u201d Notice \"Layer 1\" beneath the \"hand01\" layer. Layer 1 is completely transparent. It was the first layer that Photoshop\u00ae generated when the new document was created. By moving the hand into the new document, we created a new layer. Click once on Layer 1 and then click on the trash can icon in the bottom right corner of the Layers Panel. At the \u201cDelete the layer Layer 1\u201d warning dialog box click \u201cYes.\u201d Now the layer hand01 is active (indicated by a blue highlight). To scale the hand so that it fits into the document, click Edit > Free Transform.<\/li>\n \t- When the image to be transformed does not run off the edges of the file document (as this one does), it is easy to transform it by using the arrows at one of the four corners of the transformation box to click and drag towards the center of the image. This type of transformation is similar to transforming objects in Illustrator\u00ae. Remember to always hold down the SHIFT key while scaling in order to maintain the proportions of the image. In a situation like this where we can\u2019t see the edges of the image\u2019s transformation box, it is easier to use the transform tools in the Options Panel at the top of the document. First click on the link icon between the width and height percentage boxes to maintain the image\u2019s aspect ratio (or proportions). Now enter 65% into either the width or height box and notice that the other box also takes on the 65% value. Press \u201cReturn\u201d or \u201cEnter\u201d on your keypad to finalize the transformation.\n

Next, locate the pull-down menu that\u2019s set to \u201cNormal\u201d and is located above the Lock buttons in the Layers Panel.

In Photoshop\u00ae, the double exposure can be made by putting two images on separate layers, then adjust the blending mode of the top layer. We\u2019ve provided two images on the disk, but you might explore taking two images with a digital camera or scanning two photographs that address the subjects of time, dreams, paranoia, schizophrenia, otherworldliness, duality, etc. The double exposure is often used to express duality or the passing of time (also see Duane Michaels\u2019 photographs).<\/p>\n

- Create a New Document using File > New<\/strong>. Name it ch9-yourlastname-double-exposure<\/em> (using your own last name in place of yourlastname<\/em>). Set the Width to 12 inches and the Height to 10 inches (make sure that your units of measurement are set to inches and not pixels – otherwise you\u2019ll have a much smaller document than intended). Set the resolution to 72 Pixels\/Inch and leave the color space in RGB mode. Lastly, make sure the Background Contents setting is set to Transparent.
