Composite black-and-white image of a bearded man — AI art by @DavidP
@DavidP · 3/2/2026
I recently saw somebody use the word "overlay" in a prompt for GPT 1.5. Result was a superb photographic style double exposure. Being a bit pedantic. I find often double exposure results of an image inside another image, rather than two images with one visible through the other. With some tips and tricks from @Hephzibah I achieved a decent result in NC using img2img. I first created the portrait and landscape then wrote an img2img prompt for seedream to create the double exposure style final img. Based on seeing overlay, I regenerated the two start images in GPT 1.5 to test the prompts. Then tried a composite single prompt based on the idea over overlaying two subjects, by describing both in a single txt2img prompt. Result was OK but not what I wanted. Reverted to img2img and get decent results 1-5 created with BP GPT 1.5 1,2- img2img 3- tx2img 4,5- original landscape and portrait 6- img2img in NC SD
