Downloading and Opening Snapseed
To add yourself to any photo, you will need to use an app called Snapseed. This app is available for both iOS and Android for free. To download Snapseed, simply go to the App Store or Google Play Store and search for Snapseed. Once you find it, click the download button and wait for the app to install on your device.
After downloading Snapseed, open the app and import the photo you want to edit. In this case, the speaker wants to add themselves in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. They import the photo and make some small adjustments, such as cropping the photo to focus more on the Eiffel Tower.
Next, the speaker clicks on the “Tools” button and finds the “Double Exposure” button. They click on it to enter double exposure mode. To add themselves to the photo, they import a photo of themselves or whoever they want to add. The opacity of the photo is set to 50, and the speaker adjusts the placement of the person in the photo.
To make a selection of the person, the speaker clicks on the brush tool and starts brushing around the person. This needs to be precise, so they take their time. After making the selection, they brush off the edges that are not perfect.
Once the selection is complete, the speaker saves the photo and tunes it a little bit.
Importing and Adjusting the Background Image
To add yourself to any photo, the first step is to open the Snapseed app and import the background image. In this case, we want to put our subject in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, so we will import a great photo of the Eiffel Tower and do some small adjustments like cropping it a little bit to focus more on the tower.
Once the background image is imported and adjusted, we need to open the tools and find the double exposure button. Click on it to enter the double exposure mode. Now, we need to import a picture of ourselves or whoever we want in the photo. Choose a photo and adjust its opacity to 50 so that we can see the background image and the subject at the same time.
Next, we need to adjust the placement of the subject in the photo. Move the subject to the desired location and adjust the opacity of the subject photo back to 50. Once you are happy with the placement, save the changes.
To make the selection of the person, click on the top button and then click on view edits. Click on double exposure and select the brush tool. Invert the selection to see the second photo where the subject is. Start brushing to make a precise selection of the person. Once the selection is made, invert the selection again to see the subject in front of the Eiffel Tower.
To ensure that the edges are perfect, change the value from 100 to zero and brush off the edges that are not perfect. After you are happy with the selection and everything, you can save the photo.

To make the person’s image blend seamlessly into the photo, you need to use the brush tool to make a selection of the person. Click on the double exposure in the view edits section and select the brush tool. Invert the image so you can see the person’s image clearly and start brushing around the edges of the person.
Make sure to take your time and be precise with the selection. Once you have made the selection, invert the image again to see the person in front of the Eiffel Tower. Adjust the value from 100 to 0 to brush off any edges that are not perfect.
