Instant (Overhead) Rain Action
On a recent live stream I created an overhead, rainy day scene in my small home studio. If you missed it, I’ve added the video below. During the stream I added some rain using a Photoshop action and as promised, I’m sharing it here.
The action does a few things you need to be aware of. First it makes a duplicate of your image, so the original is always untouched. The effect is random, so running a few times will give different patterns of rain. I’ve also left the rain as layers, so you can fine tune as needs be and if you need a higher resolution version, you can copy, paste and re-size the rain to your original image.
If you create a photo using my Photoshop action then let me (and everyone else) know by leaving the link in the comments below.

I have a question, why, do You use à 4/3 capter sensor,many people say that full frame offers better quality image particulary in low light situations with hight iso
I have to say that i bought last year
a sonyA7III with differents lenses and i did not see a enormous différence of image quality and all the staff is very heavy so i returned To my first choice an olympus omd1 mark II
I know that you must very busy and if you have
no time To answer me no problem
