Make a Trendy Double Exposure Effect in Adobe Photoshop

You’ve probably seen this interesting effect of two or more overlapping photos on the covers of music albums, in modern magazines and in advertisements. In this video, we’ll create a trendy double exposure effect in Adobe Photoshop with the help of Blending Modes and Clipping Masks in a few steps.

In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposure is a combination of two or more exposures to create a single image. Initially, this is a technique in which the camera shutter is opened more than once to expose the film multiple times, usually to different images. However, with our modern software, we can easily recreate a similar effect in Adobe Photoshop.

How do I make the brush the "soft" brush to remove the top of the head of the guy? Every time I use the brush tool it just starts to smear the two layers together, not erasing the guy's head. As I'm holding down the cursor, it also unveils the original colour of the guy..
