Set your foreground and background styles to Solid Color (click on the arrow in the foreground style box and choose the icon on the left) and your textures to None (click on the arrow in the texture boxes and choose the icon on the right). Then click into the style boxes and set your foreground color to black (Red/Green/Blue = 0) and your background color to white (Red/Green/Blue = 255). | ||||

Now we make the mask: Go to Masks || New || From Image, make sure the settings are: Source window = This Window Source luminance = checked Invert mask data = checked Now, save the mask: Go to Masks || Save to Disk, name it "rain.msk". |
||||
 |
Open any image to which you'd like to apply the rain. | ||||
 |
Add a new layer, call it "rain". Set the blend mode to "Lighten".
Now, load the mask: Go to Masks || Load from Disk, select "rain.msk". |
