like that one.
thanks for the tut!

nice effect!

First!

(Had to do it once!)

weee
second
good tuts

Normally I’m really positive with my comments. Even when I can’t use a particular tutorial in my everyday life, typically there are some techniques used which I find interesting/useful. Not so with this tutorial.

Unfortunately, this is a very watered down/amateur look. I was expecting something with a little more “pop.” For example, don’t just show the run of the mill “grain+motion blur=rain” effect; go with something a little more out of the box.

While I understand that there have to be tutorials for beginners, at least show some advanced effects that will lead these beginners down the road of exceptional work.

it’s not that bad. can be a good exercise for many

FAIL!

Ok, just kidding. Its not that bad, but its tough to follow the sin city tutorial from yesterday.

Nice! Thanks

Cool!:)

too amateur I think… but its ok for beginners

Worst one yet. This is just a pathetic recycled tutorial like the ones wandering around the Internet 2 years ago. I can’t believe it got the green light. Not PSDTuts’s usual quality.

This tutorial is okay, the end product is kinda amateur though…

Not a fan of this tut. But thanks for the submission.

“Unfortunately, this is a very watered down/amateur look. I was expecting something with a little more “pop.” For example, don’t just show the run of the mill “grain+motion blur=rain” effect; go with something a little more out of the box.”

Completely agree with this comment from JOSH

Looks like a ‘one click’ filter effect.

I also agree with Josh and Gustavo, doesn’t really bring anything new to the table.

Good effort though.

@Jeff & the guys he’s agreeing with
I think that has been and is going to continue to be a problem. The thing is they’ve already covered so much its hard to cover new things. My suggestion would be to get some fresh people in that has a different eye of design. But even if they don’t they still show even newer ways to apply them.

*Yawn*

Yet another PSDTUT starring the Photoshop render clouds effect.

NICE THANKS A LOT

http://armata.kilu.de/upload/

I don’t like the final result and I haven’t learnt anything new from this tut….

I’m also not a fan of dark side nights but this is oke

eh… have to agree with Josh for the most part. Kind of missing something at the end. Looks like to many steps for the result (ie: a lot of work minimal result). Sorry.

Not my favorite, but still some good techniques, thanks for the tut.

quit using render>difference clouds. There are other ways of creating cloud effects. With maybe pictures of smoke or get this… a photo of an actual cloud. Filters are ok for some small minor elements in a design but to build a design on a “filter” is not tut worthy. We all know “filter>Render>Difference Clouds” get creative with your scenes please. Also… lighting effects…. really.

should have ended on step 17.

Take what you can from it. True, it isn’t the most grand or eye-catching tutorial but we’re getting these tutorials for free. Plus it’s Yaser’s first tutorial as well so we got a give him some slack. I just did my first tut a week ago so I am empathetic towards him.

Hey! I wanted to thank-you for a very nice tutorial. I had a branding project where I needed to show signage on a building based on a logo I designed. The sign was iluminated and I tried forever to find a way to convert the original day time image to a night time one in order to display the full effect of the lighted sign in photoshop. This would have helped then, and its not an uncommon occurence.

In every tutorial there are things we already know and new things that are added. I love the way the lighting effects are used here (something that has not been covered to this extent) to create the mood of this image. Again the tutorial is about learning new techniques not replicating the result. If you replicate results you arent being creative or innovative.

If you know this stuff already or have other techniques for rain, then why don’t you share them with the rest of us and make a quick 150 dollars?

I consider myself and advanced photoshop user, and have experience using it since verion 4.0. I learn something new from EACH AND EVERY tutorial I read on here

Thanks Psdtuts and to all this family of websites for providing such a great forum for me and many others to learn new things. Keep up the good work!

It’s always nice to have tuts for beginners…I know when I first started out, and I’m still learning. Been working with design about 2 years…but when I started I would’ve killed for a tutorial like this.

The thing with this PSDTuts is that it’s great for intermediate users to seasoned veterans but the novice tutorials aren’t as common so it’s great to see some like this every so often.

I say this because I tell people everywhere about this site, in one of my high school classes (just graduated) I would show some of the people in my web class (who are some of the most talented at my school but still have a ways to go), they found these tutorials to be amazing but when they tried em, couldn’t get very far because some of the steps are a bit vague that only someone who has worked with Photoshop for awhile can understand.

So although it may be a bit amateurish, I commend Mr. Azrak for developing a tutorial for the novice users out there. Nice work.

This comment is directed at those whose comments relate to the lack of quality and/or level of difficulty these “TUTORIALS” provide to the visitors of this site.
The tutorial providers have taken their time to offer what they feel might be useful to a Photoshop user, period. This site is not entitled “The Most Ultimate Extremely Advanced Photoshop Techniques in the Universe”. I believe the providers of these “FREE” lessons are not looking to help launch your career as the most highly paid designer or revered digital artist on the planet. That’s up to you. These free lessons range from items you can find in many beginner books to intermediate and occasionally pretty advanced. The difference? You have to pay for the books (unless you borrow them indefinitely). Many tutorials found here contain useful tips and shortcuts that are bound to help someone. Adobe Photoshop is a virtually infinite resource and tool for creating a multitude of diverse works. It dares you to go further into your creative self or takes care of your everyday design chores. If you feel you have mastered this program you certainly don’t need to visit this site, unless, of course, you are trolling. If you are slumming you really should remain a lurker.
Thank You for your effort Yaser. I appreciate it.

ahhh not cool!

Not up to the standard PSD tutorials

I was a photoshop newbie (with the trial) and i could do these no problem.

Well I find this tutorial to be good, I’ve been wondering how to make rain for a picture i’m making.

Thanks for the tip =)

First thanks for the comments

second this Tutorial not just about the Rain effect

third not all the Tutorials is about new stuff sometimes you could find another ways to use the tools in photoshop and the workflow of how this kind of stuff done

fourth every step is clear enough doesn’t mean its simple

Finally see you in my next Tutorial I hope you enjoy this one

Awesome!

He should have stopped after step 18. The rain effect is pants.

Nice if you need a “Halloween-ish” scene. Looks like fun!

Somehow i know that i have been waiting for something like this. Thanks and well done yaser.

Bummer! I’d be depressed if I spent all that time making those changes and only got that much out of the time. (In my humble opinion no one has quit matched Collis in his writing and communicating tutorials)

Hi, first time posting on here, but I’ve been following along for a while. A word to the editors. It is not just this tutorial, the overall quality of tutorials as been going down lately. I think that the expansion of vectortuts and nettuts has diluted the editing power and descretion. It is too bad, because there are 10 million crappy photoshop tutorial sites, but up until lately, this site has been providing high quality material.

We need you guys to filter down the crap and provide us busy designers with top notch material. That’s what keeps up coming back.

wow that was cool, great job ..

Nice! n Simple!!!

Yaser sure is taking a lot of shit for this tutorial. Sorry bud. I’m kind of afraid to ever submit one thinking it might not be up to par.

But right now, not applicable, not my problem. Someone here, above me has said they can use it… well Yaser, mission accomplished, you helped quiet a few people. And down the line, probably me.

Keep it up, can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve next.

I take it that the complainers are people who have paid for the PSDTUTS plus membership. If you are then go ahead and complain all you want, its your prerogative as a paid up member. However If you are not a paid up member then what gives you the right to knock someone who has given their time to educate you. You are getting this for free, FREE yes the word is FREE.
Thanks for the tutorial and I for one look forward to your next one.

This is a great one! Set the bar again!

It reminds me very much of a Steve Niles style graphic novel sketch, very dark and sinister!

Perhaps the lights should have been blurred two.

Complimenti! Anche se io mi sarei fermato ad una o due immagini prima della definitiva. L’effetto pioggia lascia un po’ a desiderare, non perché sia fatto male, ma perché lo trovo fuoriluogo. Se non lo avessi messo sarebbe stato meglio.

Great tutorial.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting – I found it an interesting tutorial.

I’ve tried to do this before and it didn’t come out right so hopefully this tutorial will give a different insight

Thanks

Nice tutorial. Thank you!

very nice

Is it just me?

Yaser, was it your intention not to leave the birds visible?

After step 17, it seems like the birds have gone…

Maybe they have gone home…it’s nite time by the way…:-P

Thanks for the tutorial. I liked the tutorial and I don’t consider myself as beginner, maybe I’m bad at photoshop. In every single tutorial in psdtus I learn something new that I can use in future projects. Some tuts are better than others, but it also depends on the level of expertise of each other.

I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t ever use this for turning a day image to dark for a client.

i like the tut. sure it’s entry level, but who said this site should only appeal to advanced users. and why have none of the trolls submitted their tutorial for some quick oney?

simple.

they’re not that good and get a self esteem boost from flamin the boards.

not everyone’s a mozart, charlie brown.

i mean form the comments psoted, you’d think guys like that have these awesome design careers. of course, they must have alot of work that involves trolling, but that’s productive too.

sheesh.
good tuts, some fundamentals. when a noob gets tired of filtered produced rain, then they’ll move on. this tut teaches some sound priniciples that usually get people moving into their own styles and actions.

can it trolls.

holy crap my spelling sucks..

see?
i can flame too.

It’s ok. I think it was heading for something really good, then took a turn towards crap.

Thanks anyway.

I think a tutorial for how to make a photo look like an hdr image would be a good one to have.

Would it be possible to categorize these tuts into difficulty levels? I notice a lot of response to effects and tutorials that are ‘beginner’ and I myself would tend to stay away from ’simpler’ and ‘amateurish’ tuts if I knew from the beginning thats what they were.

But, honestly I look at the final result pic and can tell whether its worth my time or not. Only if there is something going on where I’m not sure of the technique used do I venture through the steps.

This tutorial is OK, but I don’t think it is up to the standards of this site. I especially don’t like the black gate… It stands out way too much. I would suggest an update.

simple but effective look for Film One Sheets

lol the rain look uber fake

It was good attempt at a tutorial, however honestly speaking, the end result could’ve be achieved in in under 5 steps rather than 28.

I like it (FULL STOP)

Id rather it in color… i mean, turning it b/w is not the best, and “the rain” doesn’t look like rain at all…

Thankyou mate, brilliant stuff..

nice tutorial, keep it up

Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing it

nice tuts here man alll are the best

amazing tut, thanks

nice, but you can also add some simple rain animation with imageready

I “w1sh” I could be as good as these guys instead of just making comments all of the time. Great tut!

Thanks for Posting.
Good Tut.

Photoshop an image shot in daylight to nighttime.

Nice tutorial, thanks

nice effect,,thx

I think tutorials are about learning new techniques so you can ne able to use them for something else, tutorials are not there to spoon feed you so you can just have what you wnat without applying your own creativity…!?!?!?!?! I have been suing Photoshop for years and learn something from every tut I get even from amatuers…

Great TUT

Thx

GOOD WORK….

nice!!!

ooh scary. D:

Nice tutorial.

One of the best day to night tutorials i have seen so far.

The effect at the end is a little too black and white, more of a sin city night I guess. It is simplistic because it relies on filters and preset brushes a lot, but that’s not a bad thing. The filters are there for a reason and using them doesn’t make you a noob.

that’s nice.

Don’t mind the final image, would like to see some more rain techniques other than the fake looking grain>motionblur technique.

KOWAIIII desssuu
