[quote]To the MODS: You may delete this post if you think it is unessesary[/quote] This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to create a rain effect. This gives the effect of rain coming from the sky. I have used a free stock image of a woman which is available at [url]www.sxc.hu[/url] [b]REQUIREMENTS:[/b] any Photoshop version patience [u]COMMON SENSE[/u] [b]THE SCREENSHOTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE [/b] Step 1 Open a new image in Photoshop. [img]http://i33.tinypic.com/sg7hxw.jpg[/img] Step 2 And then create a new layer by selecting Layer > New > Layer and click ok. Now select a dark grey foreground colour and fill the new layer using paint bucket tool. I used # 5a5a5a colour, but you can use whatever you wish. Step 3 Select Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Use the default setting and click ok. And now select Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. I used the following settings, but you can experiment with whatever settings you wish. **Changing the angle setting alters the direction of the rain.
