Welcome To NewFreeTemplates.com Photoshop Tutorials Area - Rain Effect
|
Sometimes a rainy day picture never appears as
convincing as it really was. Enter Photoshop! |
 diagram 1
With our image opened in Photoshop call up the layers
palette Window >Show Layers or hit F7 on the keyboard. Now
duplicate the image by dragging it over the Create New Layer tab
(dia 1) and re-name it Rain. by double clicking on the new layer in
the Layers Pallet and typing Rain in the Layer Option
palette window (image 2
naming). |
 diagram 3
|
Working on our new Rain layer we need to add some noise -
Filter > Noise >Add Noise, and click the Gaussian and
Monochromatic buttons within the 'noise palette'. Try
experimenting with the settings, but for this image an amount of 100 was
chosen. (dia 3 noise) |
 diagram 4
|
To make the rain more realistic add Motion Blur,
Filter> Blur> Motion Blur, and selecting an angle to look like
falling rain. An angle of 67 and a distance of 16 pixels were selected,
but try experimenting with different settings you may find some that suit
your image (dia. 4 blur). |
 diagram 5
| We can now blend the layers together in the Layers
Pallet by adjusting the opacity until we are happy with the effect
(dia 5)- in this case 'normal mode' and 66% were selected. You
might also like try using different blend modes. The lighten mode
makes the image look more like a shower with the sun just breaking
through! Finally 'flatten' the image and save. |
