Digital Layer Sandwich
Directions
Firstly, in case you are not familiar with a sandwich print, it is an image made from printing two negatives at the same time. This a traditional film, enlarger and darkroom process you may have done in the Film Photography class.
To get started you will need two pictures that you think will work well together. This is somewhat of a trial and error process to find interesting combinations. Different images using different LAYER BLEND MODES will give different results. Experiment with different images and different layer Blend Modes.
Step 1
Open Photoshop, and the open up a photo from our field trip to Chicago you already have saved.
NOTE: If you did not go the field trip to Chicago, photos must be taken from the Advanced Search on Flickr - Search: Chicago
Step 2
Open another (a second photo) from our field trip to Chicago. NOTE: If you did not go the field trip to Chicago, photos must be taken from the Advanced Search on Flickr - Search: Chicago
Step 3
Use the Move tool to drag this image (holding down the shift key) into the first image you opened.
Resize if needed to make the images fit.
You could also add a Layer Mask on this top layer and hide specific parts of the image you don't want visible.
Step 4
Experiment with changing different Blend Modes on this top layer.
