Tutorial >> Create Artistic Double Exposure Effects in Your Photos

For my first tutorial in this series, I showed you how to give your photos a dreamy, summertime-inspired look using the lens flare filter in Photoshop Elements.

I was wondering why these glasses weren’t one of the projects we could choose from that day.
