• Step 2. Create a new layer from the background and give it a name ("city" in this example).
• Step 3. Call the AKVIS NatureArt plug-in and choose Rain from the list of the effects.

  Select the areas where you want to apply the Rain effect. It doesn’t matter if the areas are not precisely delimited, the unselected borders and corners will look more opaque, that fits the general effect.

  
  Selected Areas
• Step 4. Adjust the parameters of the Rain effect or use one of the ready-to-use AKVIS presets.
