How to use multiple exposures in mobile photography

Lead: Multi-exposure is a function of SLR camera, which combines multiple exposures into one photo and has a strong performance effect. In the mobile phone, the post-synthesis of the app is used to simulate the multiple exposure effect, rather than the real multiple exposure. Let's take a look at how mobile photography uses multiple exposures!

How to use multiple exposure background pictures in mobile phone photography

Foreground map

I used the mobile phone application Union to post-superimpose the two images, and the tall buildings in the foreground were filled in the silhouette. In order to avoid the picture being too messy and complicated, I suggest to use some silhouette images with clear outline and Gao Fancha as the re-exposure background image, while the freedom of photo selection for the foreground image is relatively greater. Of course, the choice of re-exposed photos depends entirely on the individual's creative needs and intentions. That is, using some complicated and messy pictures for re-exposure, if superimposed properly, can also play new ideas.

Union is a small tool specially used for multiple exposures. In addition to exposing two photos on top of each other, it also has a simple masking tool that can erase unnecessary parts of the layer. I often use it with Mextures and VSCO Cam, and the effect is not bad. Youlian sells 12 yuan in Apple App Store.

Mextures

Mextures can be used as an auxiliary post-processing tool. Its biggest feature is that it can add texture and texture to photos. For example, you can make photos old and add some dust to make them look like old film scans. Mextures is sold in Apple App Store 12 yuan.

Specific steps:

0 1 picture overlay

Open Union, import portrait silhouette into the background layer, and then import Chicago architecture photos into the foreground layer. Select the overlay mode in the foreground layer interface as? Supplement? That is, the image of the building in the foreground image is filled into the black outline of the portrait.

02 details adjustment

Continue to adjust the details in the foreground layer interface of Union. In order to make the image of the building clearer in the avatar display, you can set the layer to be transparent. Opaque? Set it to 60%. For black and white effects, the color saturation can be set to 100%. If you don't adjust, keep the color and export the picture after adjustment.

03 increase texture

Open another post-application, Mextures, and import the newly-exposed picture. In order to add some texture to the photo, you can choose gravel and particles in the texture. Dust removal? , can increase the effect of old photos after scanning, and output the saved photos after adjustment to complete the work.
