apollo 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 Open Adobe Photoshop [your version] . 1.)Ok, now let`s make new layer - Layer -> New -> Layer. 2.)Now choose Paint Bucket Tool. that in gradient tool option. Push D to set colors to Black and White. Fill your layer with black. 3.)Now go to Filtre -> Noise -> Add Noise... Folowing options - 4.)Now go to Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur Folowing options - 5.)Repeat step 1. - 4. few(i used 5) times. You will get few different layers with rain. Hide them all. To hide clik on eye. 6.)Now let`s go to Imagready. [CS] File -> Edit in Imageready / [CS2] File -> Jump to -> Imagready 7.)In Imagready make 5 new frames, and for each frame other layer. Click on Frame and then on Layers Eye to show it again. 8.)Set "Frame Delay Time" to your speed. (I suggest to use 0,1) 9.)That`s all. Now File -> Save Optimazed as yourfile.gif Here is mine - - it looks bad cus i didn`t change Frame Delay Time and Blending options:)!

Kubi 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 Very nice, but I think there's a bit to much rain(lol?). Maybe filter it more because it looks to much like a moving wall still. You only want a few drops of rain because if it's going over a sig, you don't want it to be to covered-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dHarry 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 any ideal on how i could reduce the rain?? You should be able to resuce the opacity of the original image before you created the frames for movement - on the top right of the layers window is a 100% marker -- click and you should get a "dial" to resuce the opacity to something like 50%, play around until it's what you need, then use this as the basis for the animated gif.Actually a similar effect can be produced by using "brightnesss and contrast" settings to resuce the brightness and contrast (just a little for the latter) to fade/wash out the image a little. Let me know if these work ok ;-)- dHarry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

truefusion 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 btw is anyone getting that little pause in the rain image cuz I am.Yea, it's not a smooth transition, but that's usually the hard part about animation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 well you have to use the right amount of frames what i do is that i make the animation go forwards and then set up a new set of frames to make it go backwards.but also its in the time as well so most likly you want your 1 and last frame set at 0 to make it smoother.NOTE: THIS IS MY 3600 POST WOOOHOO!!!

BordaForx 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 Yeah, that's very nice. I like it very much. But, like Kubi said, I think there is a little too much rain. But besides that, nice graphics everything. I'm actually now planning to buy Photoshop, and I can hopefully participate in tutorials/sotw/etc. It's nice, really. I really like how this community contributes to the members and has a tutorial.

DaeFenris 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 It actually reminds me of looking down at the road while driving real fast. See what I mean?I've seen several tutorials on how to main rain effects and they were similar to this, but this one just isn't for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
