Hi Guys, Today let's find out the hidden magic in Adobe Photoshop. We can make a rainy day in Photoshop. Ok ready?

Start Photoshop and open one landscape image. I'm using this one...

Then create a new layer called “rain” and fill (Shift+F5) it with black
Go to Filter>>>Noise>>>Add Noise and enter the vales as shown in the Fig

Then Go to Filter>>>Blur>>>Motion Blur and enter the values

Now create one more layer (Rain2), fill it with the black and do the same procedure as we done above. But do remember to change the Noise amount from “60” to “61”. But no change in the Motion Blur.
Create two more layers and do the same and change the Noise as “62”, “63”.

Now Change the Blending mode of all the 4 layers to “Overlay” and Fill to “60”.
Now Click the Magic Button, Switch to Image ready

It's looks like this

Open the Animation Bar from the Windows>>>Animation
Now Click the Duplicate Current Frame 4 times

It looks like this

Now Click the 1st frame and set the opacity of the 1st layer “100” and other 3 layers “0”
Click the Other (2nd one) and make the Opacity of the 2nd layer 100 and others “0”. Now do the same procedure for the next 2 frame and layers too.
Now click the run button in the Animation Panel

Now you can see the rain is falling....Stop the play and Go to File>>>Save Optimized as and save it. Enjoy the Tutorial... I will be back after my break....

Catch U later bye........ 123Jilson

Also Enable the Inner Shadow and set the values for opacity 75, Angle 158, Distance 5, Spread 0, Size 5

For the Glow Effect, make a new layer named “Glow” and Set the Foreground Colour to White and select the Brush and make a small dot in the drop
