I did this a while back with my old point and click. I have 3, the hardest one was the bathroom one. I had to shop out the camera that had been sitting on the shelf. My favorite though has to be the “What would you do for a Klondike Bar?”

I was more than happy with ONE AVERY, but if you want to multiply then I won’t complain. Seemless work like usual. Again thank you two for all you do. And Aaron, we are here for you.

my friend here decided after 17 years that she was tired of her long hair, so in the middle of a mountain trip we decided to make it happen and I thought it was the perfect situation for a multiple personality photography so this was the result! hope u like it!

Sigh! it’s been an hour now I’m searching for my version in my PC and can’t find it. And it makes me think I should really clean up my PC sometime later now. It was my first try though. Your way’s the fun way and I guess I should go at it again! xD

Loved it! And you answered the question I was going to ask tonight (spooky!) your actually the first person who has answered this in a way I understand- all I ever hear is “Digital negative” which never really made any real sense to me- I get it, but I don’t understand why thats better if you know what I mean.
I do now!

I posted my image on yesterdays comments- nevermind Here it is using Lego: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornflakecouture/5382551678/

I didn’t use a layer mask (though it would have been much easier by the looks of it) I used the eraser tool and flattened all the layers at the end.
Thanks A Team- you look like your going much better! XX

OK I took 2 pics of my son telling himself a joke, we’ll see how it goes. I’m going to break out the Wacom tablet for the first time as well.

Aaron, what happened to your shin (bandaid)?
Chad North

Its a 4 color Heidelberg printing press. It prints up to 40 inches wide using CMYK inks. Its a 2.5 million dollar press, state of the art. Sadly, I don’t work there anymore. I got laid off back in Sept 2010. Company was downsizing. So now I have more time for photo shoots, photoshop, and of course Phlearn…Lol

I can never seem to quite keep up with my pup! So I thought she would be a good candidate for my multiple personalities shot! Thanks for the great tutorial!

I did this several times some years ago. Here are three of it. It was really fun to do them, but my technique at that time hasn’t heard anything about layer masks Would have been good.

So, can you do this outside? Because from on minute to the next the light may not be exactly the same. Does it still work?

Old to comment I know but here’s mine taken in an abandoned school…
