If you're using Photoshop Elements 5, I'd suggest making the frames in that and finding another program to animate them in.
It's what I'm doing.

I really like this tutorial ^^
But I was wondering, what's the difference if you use black instead of white or vice-a-versa?

Woot, Thank you! I needed help trying to make Rain and this helped.
The only problem was that im using Photoshop 6.0, so i had to use Unfreeze to make it into an Animation, but i put it on loop + 5 CS in between and its workin fine..Thank You Again!

I had a tutorial just like this on my website years ago. It's hardly rocket science though, a lot of people have probably come up with it.

Nice tutorial. I think the one you referenced is here: [link] It uses the exact same noise/motion blur technique.

If I could add this to my favorites for a hundred time, I would. Thank you so so much for this! Finally I can animate rain. Best of all, I learned to used ImageReady from this! Now I can animate other things too!

ervand In reply to kibouchii [2005-11-26 20:33:58 +0000 UTC]

if you read the tutorial carefully you would find out you don't need no rain brushes, you only use filters.
btw i am remaking this tutorial right now

Not bad, but the text is hard to read. Maybe it'd be better without the blue background?
