dmstraker Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 There's probably an easier way, but here's how I created some rain today: Add pixel layer. Fill with white. Add noise (about 30%). Layer/Rasterise (to fix noise). Zoom in to see pixels. Levels, black up about 50% (darkening it a bit). Threshold about 70% (rain distribution). Gaussian Blur (to widen spots), Preserve Alpha. Levels again, black up to darken spots. Juggle Blur and Levels for optimal size of raindrops. Motion Blur, Preserve Alpha, angle diagonal, radius right up (can type in big number). Levels to darken rain. Invert layer to make rain white. Pixel layer Blend Mode: Screen. Adjust Opacity to suit. jer, Kasper-V and Butler To Cats 3 Quote Dave Straker Cameras: Sony A7R2, RX100V Computers: Win10: Chillblast i9 Custom + Philips 40in 4K & Benq 23in; Surface Pro 4 i5; iPad Pro 11" Favourite word: Aha.

jer Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hey, great! I just now needed to add some rain to an AD comp so I can "edit in APhoto" for your rain and take it back to AD. Thanks! Funny aside: that is a really sunny photo you added the rain to in your sample! Quote ♥ WIN 10 AD & AP ♥ Lenovo Legion Y520 15.6" Laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just happened to be a photo I had handy for general experimentation. Could at least have had some dark clouds. Trivia: It's the Boudhanath stupa in Kathmandu.

It's a good job the sun wasn't behind you, or you'd have had to invent a way to make a rainbow too! (Now there's a challenge for you...)
