Later on she told me that it was a Photoshop effect thanks to which you can <strong>clone yourself in a picture<\/strong>. She explained me how to do it, and it&#8217;s actually much easier than it seems! Simply follow these steps and you&#8217;ll see:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> First of all, you need to take a few pictures of yourself. A couple of things to take into account in this photo session: first, they should all be taken in <strong>exactly the same place<\/strong>, without moving the camera a single inch; and second, they should all have the <strong>same light values<\/strong>, so configure your camera settings accordingly. Take as many photos as clones you want to create, posing in a different position each time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2009\/09\/clon-yourself-photoshop-tutorial-01.png\" alt=\"Photoshop tutorial: How to clone yourself\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Open all the images in Photoshop.
