In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to add a dramatic rain effect to a photo in Photoshop. While rain effects are not new to Photoshop, we will go a step further and show how to make the image more photorealistic by adding reflections and small puddles. Let’s get started!

1. Setting Up the Base
Step 1
Open Walk on pier in Photoshop. Double-click the layer to unlock it and name it “Base.” The first step to add realistic rain is to have convincing clouds. Go to File > Place… and place Cloudy Scotland at the top of your canvas. You will need to stretch the image a bit so the clouds fully cover the sky. To do so, hit CMD/CTRL + T to enter Free Transform mode and input 120% for the height. Hit enter to confirm, name the layer “Sky” and place it below your “Base” layer.
Step 2
Using your favourite tool, create a selection of the sky (I used the Quick Selection Tool). Select your “Base” layer, hit CMD/CTRL + G to group it, and create a mask from the selection in order to hide the sky.
I suggest you take the time to refine your mask. This will help achieve a photorealistic result in the end. To do so, select your group’s mask and use a black or white Brush (B) to paint in and out the parts you desire.
Since the sky still has a little bit of color, create a Black & White adjustment layer to make sure it fits your base layer.
Step 3
When it rains, the air gets really humid, resulting in fog that hides far away elements. To do this, use a soft large Brush with a gray color (#C3C3C3 in this case) and draw a straight line on the horizon (hold Shift when painting to draw in straight line). Set the layer opacity to 50%. You can then duplicate the layer (CMD/CTRL + J) and stretch it vertically to soften even more the fog. Name both layer “Fog” and place them below the group.
Finally, create a Curves adjustment layer to darken the image. Place it above everything else.
2. Generating the Rain
Step 1
The usual method to generate rain is to combine the Add Noise and the Motion Blur filter. Start by creating a new layer (CMD/CTRL + Shift + N), then fill it with black (D, then Alt + Backspace), and then go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Scale the noise up to 400%.
Then go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and give the noise a slanted motion blur. Hit CMD/CTRL + M to bring up the Curves adjustment panel and add contrast to your layer. Finally, switch your layer to Screen and name it “Rain.”
