Imagine one day you announce to all your friends that you have a twin, by showing them a very realistic photo. There must be many fun then! I’ll show you how to do that in this photoshop tutorial.

Step 1: You must use a tripod (or anything else which can hold your camera stand still). Then, shoot the 1st photo with yourselft in it, in order to make it natural, I recommend that you should take photo with a friend. Next, shoot the sencond one. Okie, with the second photo, you can change your appearance a little bit (a small different will convince viewers’ perspective), changing your T-shirt, hair style, for example. Important: just chaging yourself and your position in the scene, keep the rest as it was in the 1st shoot.

The two photos should look like following:

Step 2: Go to Photoshop and put these two photos together, each gets a layer.

s12

Step 3: in order to see the different between two photo, let’s choose the blend option of the first layer to “Overlay”.
So now you can indentify the different clearly.

s13

Step 4: use the earaser the remove the different details of the first layer comparing to the second layer.

s14

You need to put attention to edges and details

s15

Conclusion: Yay, the last step is to flat the photo and you got a super realistic photo which can supprise your parents and friends. The key point to make the photo realy real is: you are the only one who changed, and the surrouding environment was kept exactly the same between the two shoots.
You can make three, four, or five of yourself, just follow that simple trick.
Good luck, dudes!

  7. Justin February 5, 2008

    When you’re the only thing changing, you can also simply use a layer mask, that comes out pretty realistic for me. Just make sure you camera uses the same exposure for every shot.

  17. Stan February 17, 2008

    Hi, Don’t beat up on me, but…. can this “Multiply yourself” post be used with Photoshop Elements 4? I find PS too expensive and waaaay too much for the simple things I want to do. If not, does any one have a link for how to clone yourself with PSE?

    Thanks!

    Stan

  18. santono February 19, 2008

    hi im a beginner of photoshop.
    i don’t understand the last step “flat it”
    how to do that?

  19. Kezz February 23, 2008

    Well done, that’s really easy to follow. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us.

  20. Andy February 23, 2008

    @Stan: Hi Stan, I have not actually use Photoshop Element 4, so I couldn’t tell much. Here is few key fucntions that need to have: a feather edge [make the edge of the object blur, so it is blended with the background; a colour adjustment. :-))

    @Santono: ‘flat it’ means you merge all the layers into one layer. That way people cannot modify your artwork (moving around elements, for example).
    Let’s go to menu bar, Layer > Flatten Image.

    @ Kezz: thanks mate.

    To ‘Si’ and ‘Nazgul’

    I had the same problem myself.

    Make sure the ‘main layer’ is at the bottom.

    The stuff in which you erase all the stuff should be at top.

    the ‘main layer’ is also the one that you want to change the layering settings on to “Overlay.”
