Step 1: Open up the picture you want to work on, I picked this picture from my Shanghai update.

Step 2: Go to Layer, and down to New > Layer

Step 3: Go to Filter > Render > Clouds, make sure your colors in the tool menu are black and white.

Step 7: A popup will also come up, choose these settings.

Step 8: Go to the layers tab on the right side, and change the opacity to a number around 30% and change the blending to Lighter Color if you'd like.

Step 9: It looks a little too colorful for a rainy day, so go to Image > Adjustments > Hue Saturation. Make sure you are doing this to layer 1, saturating the rain won't really do much.

Step 10: Change the saturation to around -25 and you're done!

 This should go into the bookmarks on my browser :)) Great work. I hope that whoever uses this in pictures will give credit to ilikehotdogsalot. By the way, what Photoshop are you using? CS4?

Great tutorial, Daniel. It should work about just the same for GIMP, no?

I'm not sure, I have never worked GIMP. If it has the same features, then I guess it might. I might submit it for the Omnibus soon if you guys think it should go up there :)

@ Animaniacs: That would be Adobe Photoshop, one of the newer versions.

And great tutorial; I tried it and it works wonders!  Definitley omnibus material!

 For those using GIMP: It's the same thing all the way down to the part where you have to make the layer a lighter color. My solution is to use the "Eraser" function in the toolbox, and set the opacity to around 70%. Then, "Erase" the whole picture, with the scale set to 10.00 and the brush selected as 19. It does the same thing, but do it in one big sweep, otherwise it erases too much.
