step 6 of 9
Now go to Filter-Blur-Motion Blur. Angle 90 and a high distance, play around to see what works for you, i find it has to be quite high...apply this filter a few times to get straight lines.
step 7 of 9
Now set the blend mode for this layer to Vivid Light and call up the Levels pallete (ctrl+l) play with the sliders to get the effect you desire.
step 8 of 9
Thats it. Make another 'rain' layer if you wish and change the direction (angle).
I have added a Hue-Sat Adjustment Layer to introduce some colour.
Go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Hue/saturation
Name it what you like and click ok.
Check 'colourize' box and play with settings to the look you want.
Have fun...
