devildare, this is a quick tut how i did the rain in the pic below using photoshop
http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... id=56896&d=1211810012
duplicate the layer(ctrl+j) now go to image> image adjustments>levels and make your settings for input levels 18 / 1.00 /255 output levels should be set at 1 / 255
(this gives the image a dark feel of a rainy day)
the next step is to create a new layer(shift+ctrl+n) with a white background. now go to filter > noise > add noise and adjust the slider amount to about 85%
now go to filter > blur > motion blur and set the angle to about 73 and distance to 24.
now go to image > image > adjustments > levels and set the input levels to 201 / 1.00 / 255
now go to layers pallet and change your blending mode to screen
now duplicate the layer and go to edit > transform > rotate 180 degrees and reduce the opacity of the layer to about 80
now with the topmost layer selected press ctrl+e to merge the two top layer
thats the rain but to add more realisome to it i added some wind
do this by going to filter > distort >twirl and set the angle to 5 degrees
you may have to inlarge the layer slightly to hide the edges that can some times not look right. but thats it m8
these are the settings i used but you can play with them to get the best results for your pic
hope it was some help
