@julieco I am really glad you see the link' Julie - I almost put it in my caption that Picasso was the first to develop the 'duality' style, but thought I might sound a bit 'naff' linking my image & Picasso'!! :) http://www.terraingallery.org/Picasso-Dora-Maar-MS.htm has some really interesting comments about the meaning though. Last weeks push of 'darkness' has really had me thinking about how we 'see' things...

@grammyn It does need an editing program that uses layers Katy and I found it a bit confusing at first, but it was not not long and complicated - the tricky part is placing the two shots on top of each other in the best position & angles, then I used the eraser on the top layer to insert the features of the lower image. I used PSP & it was the first time I have used an alpha channel to create a mask, but then I used the 'less-correct' eraser tool to keep the process as simple & quick as possible!

@judithg thanks Judith - :) I know exactly what you mean - my eyes did the same thing - moving back & forward from feature to feature - trying to 'reconcile' the image for the brain to process!
October 7th, 2012  
@ltodd Thanks for the explanation,Lyn. My editing skills are severely lacking but It is something I might want to try! Your results are amazing!
October 7th, 2012

Very cool... I've seen this once before and it's really awesome, you've done a great job of it! Do you have a link for a "how to"?
October 8th, 2012  
Lyn, I've seen these shots and your work here will probably push me to try this process. Thanks a bunch! Fav by the way!
October 8th, 2012  
Really well done!
October 8th, 2012  
Clever and strange!

@mikegifford @grammyn @salza @ozziehoffy Thanks for your kind words guys - I followed the tutorial from a magazine I bought, but finally found the whole thing online. I 'kind of' got lost at step 2 or 3 though, and so had to 'wing' it from there!! :) http://www.practicalphotoshopmag.com/2012/08/03/how-to-create-double-exposure-portraits-in-photoshop/
October 16th, 2012  
@ltodd ooh and guess who just got PS today.... *raises hand*... I'll have to try to remember to try this one day!
October 16th, 2012  
@ltodd Thanks so much for the link, off to check it out!
October 16th, 2012  
Lyn
What an incredible job you've done here! Thanks for the link. . .you seem to have amazing models, as well!
October 16th, 2012  
@ozziehoffy ooohhh...go slowly, keep your sense of humor & try to have more fun than frustrations!! :))
@salza no problems at all! - let me know if you have a go - I'd love to see your edit. :)
October 16th, 2012  
@lyno oh totally ROFLOL at that! :)))) (& Andrew will be soooo happy to hear your compliment- this is now also his facebook profile pic! )
Luckily for me there are about 30 people working in our office, and I am honoured that so many of them have agreed to help me out. I tape a copy of their 365 shots up on their office doors & they all seem genuinely happy with their photos (even the 'way-out' ones like this shot) which I actually do think is kinda' nice of 'em. :))
October 16th, 2012  
I don't have PS so no chance for me at this time but you are such a lovely person to go back and find this link for us!! Thanks,Lyn!
October 16th, 2012  
Wow, that is such a cool shot.
