Add Water Droplets To Hibiscus

This could be an interesting one! Before I launch into an explanation, can anyone else come up with a good technique here? But before we add the water, we need to rescue some of the detail that's missing in the flower. Here, I used my standard technique for bringing back detail: 1. Duplicate the layer 2.

Re: Add Water Droplets To Hibiscus
is this technique comparable to using high pass filter on a duplicate layer and set the blending to overlay, softlight or hard light? |

I have some rain in the form of a layer effect but I don't know how to save it and send it to you, can you help? The droplets were created using it.  |
