That much rain doesn't look like there is a storm, does it so we're going to add two more layers of rain. First, let's create the second layer. Create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it "Rain 2". Activate the Brush tool (B) and make sure that the same brush is loaded and then input the following settings:

  • Brush size: 2000px
  • Hardness: Default
  • Opacity: 100%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: ffffff

Now that we're done with "Rain 2", let's now create "Rain 3". Create a new layer once again and name it "Rain 3" and then activate the Brush tool (B). This time, we're going to use another brush. See below:

  • Hardness: Default
  • Opacity: 100%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: ffffff

After that, select all the layers and group them. Name this group: "Rain".


Step 4: Add the Ships

In this step, we will be adding the ships. To start, let's open "Ship 4" by Alegion Stock. ("Ship 4 is from the Tall ship PNG stock. You'd notice that this stock has a transparent background - this means that you could simply transfer this image to the canvas. Upon opening, just activate the Move tool (V) and drag that ship to our canvas.

Upon moving, create a group under all the "Rain" group and layers and on top of the "Background" layer and include the ship image into that group. See image below for instructions:

Rename this group to "Ship"

After that, rename the ship layer to "ship 1". Now that the ship has been moved to the canvas and renamed, let us now activate the transform tool to resize it. See image below:

When you're done, let's we will now edit the look of "ship 1". We're going to make it blend with the rest of the images to make it more realistic. To do that, first click on "ship 1" and then go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and input the following:

  • Brightness: +5
  • Contrast: +3
