The Double Exposure Effect is a creative technique where two images are blended together to create a single, unique image. This effect can add depth and artistic flair to your designs.
Creating a double exposure effect in Canva is a fun way to blend two images together. In this tutorial we are going to show how to do it.
Step-1 : Open Canva and click on the Create a design button found on the top right. You can choose about the size you want.
Step-2 : Go to the Elements tab on the side panel. Use the search bar at the top and type “tiger” and press enter.
Choose the image you want to use as the base. This is usually a portrait or a landscape. Add it to your design. On the editor toolbar, select Edit image.
Step-3 : From the side panel under Tools, select BG Remover or Background Remover to remove the background of the photo.
Step-4 : Now lets choose the second image you want to blend with the base image. Go to Elements > Photos and type “Zebra in the wild“.
Drag and drop the zebra photo from Elements on a newly created page by clicking “+ Add new page”
Step-5 : Then Drag the zebra photo to the left side of the page and download it as PNG from the top menu, select Share > Download.
Step- 6: Go to Uploads on the side panel. Select Upload files, then choose the zebra image that you want to upload from your computer. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the images directly into the Uploads tab.
Step-7 : Once uploaded, you can use the below zebra image in your design.
Step-8 : Go to Apps and type “Easy Reflections“.
Step-9 : Select the uploaded Zebra image and click “Create reflection“
Step-10 : Next select “Right” and adjust the Offset as “73”, Opacity as “100” and click “Add to design“.
Step-11 : Hence a new zebra image will be displayed with reflection effect. Now let’s “Flip horizontal” and delete the previous zebra image.
Step-12 : Now let’s copy the reflection effect zebra image to the base photo of the Page1. Then increase its size.
Step-13 : Adjust the position and size of the second image to get the desired blend.
Step-14 : Add any background color as you wish. Here we have selected the “gradient blue color” as the background.
Step-15 : You can add text, additional elements, or filters to complete your design. Next we have added the text “Save The Stripes” and chosen the font “Gagalin”, size “196” and color “Black”.
Step-16 : And that’s it! Here is the final result.
Feel free to experiment with different images and effects to create a unique double exposure effect!
