Follow this step by step Gimp tutorial to learn how to make a dry road look wet, like it has just been raining.

|
|
|
 |
1.
|
|
|
Open a picture of a dry road you want to make look wet.
Click here to download picture of a road used in this tutorial.
|
|
| |
2.
|
|
|
Right click the road layer and choose Duplicate Layer.
If you can't see the Layers window press Ctrl + L to make it visible.
|
|
| |
3.
|
|
|
Choose the Overlay mode for the new duplicated layer.
|
|
| |
4.
|
|
|
In the menu click Layer, Transform and choose Rotate 180°.
The new duplicated layer need to be selected.
|
|
| |
5.
|
|
|
In the menu click Layer, Transform and choose Flip Horizontally.
|
|
| |
6.
|
|
|
Now choose the Move Tool (press M for a keyboard shortcut).
|
|
| |
7.
|
|
|
And move (drag and drop) the duplicated layer up a bit like I did.
The original road and the duplicated flip road should be touching at the end (see picture).
|
|
| |
8.
|
|
|
Now choose the Scale Tool.
|
|
| |
9.
|
|
|
Click the picture and drag the bottom end of the picture to cover the part of the dry road that got exposed in step 7.
Press Enter.
|
|
| |
10.
|
|
|
Now we have a bit at the end of the road uncovered.
|
|
| |
11.
|
|
|
Again click the picture, only now drag the upper end of the layer out of the bound a bit to cover the dry part.
|
|
| |
12.
|
|
|
Now lets get rid of the parts of the duplicated layer around the road that we don't need.
Choose the Eraser Tool ...
|
|
| |
13.
|
|
|
... set the Size to about 104 ...
Depends on the size of your image.
|
|
| |
14.
|
|
|
... and erase the parts of the duplicated layer around the road only to leave the road wet.
|
|
| |
15.
|
|
|
In the menu click Filters, Blur and choose Motion Blur...
As a Blur Type choose Linear, set the Length to 15 and Angle to 90.
Click OK.
|
|
| |
16.
|
|
|
Set the duplicated layer's opacity to 80.
|
|
| |
17.
|
|
|
All we have to do now is to adjust the duplicated layer levels a bit.
In the menu click Colors and choose Levels...
Set black tones to about 26 and middle tones to about 0,82.
Click OK.

| With the duplicated layer selected, go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Apply a moderate blur to the layer to simulate the reflective https://connectionsnyt.com/ quality of water on the road surface. Adjust the blur radius to achieve the desired effect. Click "OK" to apply the blur. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use `a layer mask https://slopeonline.io/ on the noise or brush layer to control where the wet effect appears. |
