The document describes editing a photo to make a woman's bright umbrella stand out more in the rain. First, the woman was selected using the magic wand tool and the image was changed to black and white, making the umbrella stand out. Then, a new layer was made and noise was added and blurred to create a rainy texture. Levels and motion blur were adjusted to make the rain look more realistic. The layer style was changed to blend the rain with the photo, and then rain under the umbrella was erased.

1. Opened a image of a woman holding a bright umbrella, I want the umbrella to stand out more. I selected the woman with the ‘magic wand tool’

2. I then went to image>adjustments>black and white, this made the part I selected black and white, making the umbrella stand out more, I then wanted to add rain…

3. This was it after…

5. I made a new layer and went to filter>noise>add noise. This made a spotty texture, I then wanted to blur it to make it look like real rain

6. This was it when I added ‘motion blur’, this made it look like actual rain, however it still looked unrealistic

7. I then went to image>adjustments>levels and put in the following numbers.

8. I added a ‘twirl’ to soften the rain and to make it look even more realistic.

9. I then changed the layer option to ‘difference’ to make both the layers blend in and the rain look as if it was coming down onto the lady

10. This was it after, although now I wanted to erase the rain under the umbrella

11. I erased the rain under the umbrella and this was the final image,
