A simple script (/program) can combine two images "as if you had combined them in camera" in no more time than it takes to load a TIFF. OK, you would have to remember to run it (unless you adopted some exif-annotation convention) but in reality I bet such doubles would be a small fraction ... Actually, I do take your point: a use I have thought of "in camera" is of the multiple-sequence exposures which do have a use but where none of today's DSLR wonders have enough capacity to store all the high res frames fast enough ... >Sure, I'll try to locate a multiple exposure I've done that I like. >I had one a few years ago that I got really excited about when I did >it, but then I grew, and it wasn't so exciting any longer.

I have seen a couple of double exposures I've liked but largely they are a camera club curiosity.
