This one is very experimental for me. This is the first time I've tried working with a rain effect in photoshop, and I think it turned out quite nicely. Watchmen is awesome. That's all there is to it. You should all see the movie, and read the book, but not necessarily in that order. And if you've never heard of Watchmen...well, you just did. So there. Until Thursday.

I found it to be ok. I guess I was holding it to TDK's standards.

Well it's not an effect like a photoshop filter, it's more of a process that I in part figured out on my own, and used a tutorial online to help me.

Basically, you have to add a new layer over the picture, make it entirely white, add noise to it (on photoshop usually about 89% helps) then adjust the levels (adjust the input levels to about 200 or so), then change the layer to a screen layer, and voila. You can distort it too with a twirl filter to make it look just a tad more realistic.

Hope that helps. If not, then...oh well?
