Water drops Effect Photoshop
You will need an image of something that would have droplets of water. In this case we used an image of big leafed plant.
1 – Open your image or paste it into your Photoshop document.
2 – Create a New Layer, set its Blending Mode to Overlay and select the “Elliptical Marquee Tool” (M) and create a shape that will become your water droplet.
3 - Set the foreground color to black and the background to white then select the “Gradient Toll” (G), select the Black-White gradient and drag it across the selected area.
4 – Double click on your layer to invoke the “Blending Options” dialog apply the following values for the “Drop Shadow” option: Leave the Blend Mode as Multiply, set an Opacity of 50% with an angle of 146 degrees, Distance of 4 px and a 9 px Size. And to the “Inner Shadow” option: Leave the Blend Mode as Multiply, set an Opacity of 75% with an angle of -28 degrees, Distance of 6 px and a 21 px Size. Click Ok. You can always tweak the values to your liking.
5 – To add a highlight to the droplet, click the letter X to switch Foreground and Background colors, select your brush tool and make the brush size 10 pixels and its hardness 100% and paint a small dot on top of your droplet. Copy your Layer Style or Save it for later use and create more shapes. Is better to do each droplet in a separate Layer and later group them together so you can move the around.
6 – Or you can draw other shapes with the “Lasso Tool” (L).
7 -When you are finished select the “Blur Tool” to smooth out the borders of the droplets a bit.
8 – Your drops should look like this.
