Double Exposures

[scotgasch]

Can the 10d do double exposures? I haven't found it listed in the manuel.

Digital cameras dont't do that typically because you can "double exposure" afterwards in Photoshop

I have seen the Fuji S2 do this, so I figured the 10d would as well.

If you want to do a double exposure you will need to do it a bit differently than when using film. Instead of exposing the same frame twice, you take two exposures and then composit them in Photoshop. You do this by opening both images in Photoshop and then drag one on to the other while holding the shift key (this assures that both shots are in registration). Use the opacity slider to blend the two images to get the effect you want. You can also apply layer masks to perfect the image.

I think you will find that the results you get are much better than you were ever able to get with film.

I am very familiar with Photoshop, I use it about 5 hours a day, so I can do pretty much anything that I can think of. However, I was just curious if the 10D would do it in the camera. The S2 does it and quite well. Just curious, That's all.
