Double exposure in Photoshop is an important tool which can add an amazing effect on an image. Mainly this effect is produced by photographers using just their camera.

Right click and select Make Selection from the menu and enter 0.5px in the Feather Radius option. Copy the new selection from the background and paste it on a new layer and add a white layer to isolate the portrait. Open the landscape image and post in into the working document.  Then click the Add Layer Mask icon to clip the background of the landscape to the outline of the portrait. Now duplicate the portrait cut layer and drag it to the top and open the image adjustments level and darken the image by moving the input and output sliders. Change the blending mode to Screen to render the dark areas transparent. This will leave a ghostly image, now add a Layer Mask to this ghostly layer erase some areas using brush to blend it. Find a light colour image to fill the white background. Add a level adjustment layer and tune the contrast of the image. Finally add Gradient Map and create a split toned coloured scheme and the change the blending mode to colour.
