![]() ![]() Change the “Fill with” type to “Foreground color” (red arrow), and make sure your foreground color is set to black (green arrow). To start, create a new layer and name it “Black” (blue arrow in the above photo). The second option for removing the black background takes a few extra steps, but the result will be a new layer that only contains the rain and a transparent background. This layer mode option will only remove the black pixels from the rain image, effectively erasing the black background. The simplest method for removing the black background is to click on the “Mode” dropdown at the top of the layers panel (green arrow in the above photo).Ĭhange the Layer Mode to “Screen” (red arrow in the photo above). Now that we have imported the rain photo to our current composition (red arrow in the above photo), the most obvious thing that stands out is that the black background of our rain photo covers up the main photo below it. I recommend clicking “Convert.” STEP 2: HIDE THE BLACK BACKGROUND You may get a message asking you to convert the image to GIMP’s native color profile (outlined in green in the image above). After you have found the rain image you want to use, double click on the file or click the “Open” button at the bottom of the dialogue window. Once you are in the folder, you can click on each image file (blue arrow) to preview the fog image in the right hand side of the dialogue box (red arrow). From here, navigate to the folder that contains the Rain Overlays using the “Places” section (outlined in green). This will bring up your “Open Image as Layers” dialogue box (shown in the image above). To open a Rain Overlay as a layer in your existing composition, just go to File>Open As Layers (red arrow in the photo above). ![]() Now that the Rain Overlay images have been downloaded to your computer, you’ll want to import whatever rain image you want to use into your composition (you can of course double click on any of the JPEGs prior to importing them into GIMP to see which ones you like). STEP 1: IMPORT YOUR Rain IMAGE AS A LAYER I have chosen this format as it is the easiest to work with inside of GIMP. The overlays themselves are JPEG images with white rain over a black background. Once you’ve downloaded your Rain Overlay pack (via the download button above), you’ll want to unzip the file to a location on your computer to extract all of the images (the image above shows the extracted Rain Overlays).
