We were just talking.  My wife mentioned that it had not rained for a long time.  I think the last time we had rain was about 6 months ago.  My wife was very concerned because her garden flowers could use rain badly.  Then she said &#8220;Honey, my flowers are dying.  Could you do something?&#8221;  &#8220;You want rain, huh!?,&#8221; I said.  So I went to my computer room, starting up my iMac and launching Adobe Photoshop.  In a matter of 5 minutes or so, we had a squall of rain.  I still can&#8217;t forget her happy face.<\/p>\n<p>The following tutorial shows easy steps to design a scene with a squall of rain at a balcony, using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
