ditto - it's much easier to spray the rose with water and make real droplets before taking the photo!. to add droplets on the rose and make them look realistic would kind of take too much work!. but just in case you already have a picture of a rose and don't have one that you could add droplets on and shoot again, try doing this:

1!. get a photo with water droplets - i suggest them photos of raindrops on a clear pane of glass

2!. select a drop that would go well with your rose - harder than it sounds because water tends to be shaped differently when it sticks to flat glass than textured and uneven rose petals

3!. drag it onto your rose petal and place over desired location

4!. adjust blending mode (try overlay or soft light)!. also adjust opacity, contrasts and saturation according to taste to make it look as real as possible!.

i'd still recommend just reshooting the rose with real droplets on it though!. either way, good luck! :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Flowering season for roses is right throughout the Australian summer so since you live here, you can re-take the photograph!.

If you live near Sydney pay a visit to Swains Nursery (near Dural)!. They have a vast display of roses and you can happily walk around spraying roses with water and photographing them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a great tutorial on ONE droplet!.!.!. now all you have to do is repeat it about a thousand times for a really unnatural effect!.!.!.

!.!.!. or use a mist bottle (perfume container, room deodorizer) and dust your rose BEFORE you photograph it to get a realistic effect!.

It's easier to make your own rain droplets!. Get a spray bottle, fill it with water, spray the water on a rose, take the photo!.

There is no real way to superimpose the droplets without the final image looking unnatural!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

soooo, go to the local florist and buy some fresh flowers, set up the shot and DO IT!!. Flowers are in season all year at a florist!. Mist or soak, expose them to heat or cold for the desired blooming!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
