In the tutorial, we will demonstrate how to add a vivid rain effect to the Photoshop picture. Although the effect of rain is not a new technique in Photoshop,
But it allows us to step up the technique and show how to make the image more realistic by increasing reflection and small puddles. Let's get started!
First look at the final effect of the comparison chart:
Tutorial material is the following material required for the tutorial. Please download the following material or find a substitute for Walk on Pier (Walk on Dock) Cloudy Scotland (Cloudy Scotland)
To synthesize a background layer
Open the "Walk on Pier" picture in Ps. Double-click the layer to name it "Base." The first step is to add a more realistic cloud to the layer, open the cloudy Scotland picture to the canvas,
Need to stretch the picture so that the cloud completely obscured the sky, CTRL + t free transform, height set to 120%, press ENTER to determine, named layer "Sky", set the transparency to adjust the position,
Placed below the layer "Base".
The second step with the tools you are good at, I use the Quick magic wand tool, select the "Base" layer, the sky is selected, CTRL + G build Group, Shift+ctrl+i, and create a layer mask to hide the sky.
To name a group "Pier"
Fix some of the details so you can make the picture more realistic. Select the mask for "Pier" and use a black or white brush (B) There's not much to tell!
Because the sky still has a little bit of color, create a black and white adjustment layer on "sky" to ensure the uniformity of color.
The third step is now to consider a situation: when it rains, the air becomes moist and produces far-fog effects. To do this, with a soft brush, the hue is gray # c3c3c3, sorted:
