💡 Tips for Better Results
Choose an overlay scene with strong contrast variations (e.g., trees against sky) because the light and dark areas naturally map onto the subject's features for a more convincing blend. Profile silhouettes work best for double exposure effects since they provide a recognizable human shape with a clean interior canvas. Specify which facial features should remain visible to prevent the overlay from completely obscuring the subject.
