Overlaying Over and Exposed Images

Hi,

I have two images, taken at the exact same posistion. One image in underexposed to allow the light though the window, the other is over exposed to light up the room. I wish to blend (overlay) the two so that I can see through the window, as well as having the light in the room. This process needs to be as effecient and quick as possible as I have hundreds of these images to a day.

All help is most appreciated

I would suggest using the blending modes given in photoshop for the quickest method if you're doing "hundreds" of pictures.

From what you said, I created this incredibly quick (like 2-3 minutes) example of a dark room with light in the window (example 1) and the same room lighted but a dimmer window with no light through it (example 2).

The words underneath the pictures after the example images are the blending modes used to achieve the effect. You access the blending mode in Photoshop 6 on the layers palette on the upper left. Leave the lower layer on normal, push the desired layer to be blended directly on top of the other, and change blending modes, very quick and painless.

Wow, what a great reply... Hooray for Mr.Bogus!
