I have been playing with double exposures as part of my personal 365 journey (#shakeitout2014) using the hipstamatic app. A few weeks ago, while perusing Instagram, I spotted a most haunting double exposure. I scanned the hashtags quickly, and clicked on the #DianaPhotoApp. I was taken to a beautiful gallery of double exposed images. I then headed over to iTunes to download the app for myself.
Diana mixes a little bit of chance with a whole lot of control, at least when you are used to shooting a double x using Hipstamatic. There are actually two or three ways to create your double exposure. If you are feeling adventurous, shake the iPhone while in app and it will randomly pick two of the images stored within your camera roll to layer.
From there, you can adjust the filter and also the order of the images switching around which one is on top of the other. If you want a bit more control you have the ability to take a picture within the application. And for even more control, you can have the ghosting turned on while shooting and turn the forward facing camera on too, which gives the ability to line up the two images exactly as you wish—something that feels a bit like cheating, but gives some really amazing end results.
I mentioned there were filters for adjusting the resulting image. I definitely have my favorites of the 20+ available. Some seem overbearing and too much for a double exposed image, others give way to the subtle layering that I like.
I like that you can rotate either of the chosen images around, but wish I could shift it while choosing the filter in order to line up everything just right. I also wish there was a transpose button so I could flip the image(s) mirror style to get the two photos to line up just right.
On the downside, if you don’t want the (very large) watermark advertising the app leaves on your end product, you will have to purchase the app. I asked fellow Muse, Jenny, to test things out for me in Android. It appears the full paid version isn’t out yet. A bit of a bummer since I always feel a little bad about discovering a new photo toy that you non- iPhonographers can’t enjoy as well.
All in all, Diana is a fun app. I think a few minor updates would make it even better, but as it’s a fairly new app I have my fingers crossed that these issues will be addressed in future versions.
Have you played with Diana? I would love to see your results. Share links in the comments so we can click over and see!
Keep chasing that light – Vanessa
I’m sad its not on Android too – but I’m so glad people are sharing from iphones, the results are so dreamy. Really though I should just pick up my actual Diana camera and go take some doubles 🙂
From what I gather, the full version is coming for Android too! The limited,free version that is out is fun to play around with, but I can’t stand the watermark, so I for one won’t be using it until there is an option to remove the mark.
And yes, good point about loading up the actual Diana camera – nothing really beats double exposures on film 🙂
Oh, come on. Diana Photo is also available on Android version 🙂
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.stettiner.dianaphoto
I’d love to know how I can download or upgrade the free version to premium on an Android.
Never mind. I finally figured it out. Thanks!
So much fun! I’ve seen lots of double exposures from this new Diana app in my IG feed, and have been meaning to buy it. You’ve sold me now for sure!!!
Absolutely haunting images. I must keep having a play with this app. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love your images! How would you say this compares with just blending your own images in a tool like Image Blender?
Your posting really stthrgaiened me out. Thanks!

I received the same invitation with different dates (28 – 30 March 2011). At first i felt glad to be invited. But then i checked from UN website and found out that they are scams. The real meeting is on September and will be held in United State. Beware of the SCAMS!!
Good Job!Clever design with the EVF and the Flash. For us that don’t like EVF’s, one could have an “optical tunnel” with information overlays ans an optional eq. It looks a bit like my old Minolta XD7…which i lovedThanks!
The misery and miserable on the once aptly named Dark Continent of Africa are enough to swamp Europe many times over. The Mid-East alone has already seeded Europe with coalescing pockets of Muslim parasitic colonists whose youth behave as the Vandals of ancient Roman times.
Gracias Norma, quizá un poco triste porque a veces quisiera saber si pude haber sido una mejor madre para ella, una madre más compañera, pero como lo sabes ese dilema de las madres trabajadoras que nos hace sentir tan culpables. Pero he decidido reestructurar mi tiempo para ella y mejorar la calidad del tiempo para hacerla feliz. Gracias Norma.
Thank you – I’ve been trying to sort this bugger out! http://instagram.com/p/ltgf8ClPUq/
Awesome. I am off to download this and try it out.
Haunting is the word. I love this app. It’s great fun. My main problem with it is the low resolution. http://instagram.com/p/l-CtS0hp4-/
