How To Create RAIN from Scratch in Snapseed App | SNAPSEED TUTORIAL |

Today we are gonna get a rain effect  with this tool using only Snapseed app.

Read through for some handy tips and tricks.

We need to create this which will be used later  as a double exposure image for the rain effect.

I tried different methods but finally got better results with the Noir tool.

• We need to start with a black image though.
• So on top of this image, I am gonna use Curves and drag the top right
• point of the RGB curve down which  turns the image completely black.
• Next for the Noir tool.
• It doesn't matter which preset you select here.
• The options are here, the one  main thing here is the Grain.
• First I am gonna set the others to zero.
• Now increasing the Grain  value to 100 and applying it.
• Now we need to make the  grains as white as possible.
• Using Curves, will try applying a high  contrast which gives us these white dots.
• You can also tune it for lesser dots if necessary.
• Now we are gonna stretch them  using the Perspective tool.
• Here choosing the Scale option  and dragging from top to bottom  
• on the image which basically stretches the dots.
• Am gonna repeat the same step again  and again till I get some small lines.
• I'm gonna use Perspective tool again with Scale option, this time compressing it by dragging the
• image from right to left to  make the lines more narrower.
• With smart filling option, this also  fills up empty spaces on either sides.
• Also adding little blur with the Lens blur tool.
• Just a hint of blur here.
• Saving this image.
• I am gonna revert the image to the original state.
• Here to get that overcast look, first  I am gonna tune with Tune Image.
• Here reducing contrast...
• ...saturation...
• ...also removing warmth by  making the image more cooler.
• Also reducing overall brightness.
• Now using Selective filters, removing the orangish  tones by reducing the saturation on these spots.
• I am gonna darken the image more with Curves.
• In the masking screen, applying  it with 100% on the sky.
• And with 50% in the foreground.
• Now using Double Exposure,
• adding the earlier saved image of the  short lines and choosing Add mode.
• Reducing the opacity to make it less intense.
• Also manually rotating to  make it rain at an angle.
• Will add the same image once more.
• This time with default mode and reducing it's size  
• to make the falling rain drops  thinner for a more natural look.
• Masking work for a smoother effect.
• Will repeat the step once more  by adding the image on the right.
• Masking work to fine tune it further.

The final result here.
