We will now learn how to add water droplets over a leaf using Adobe® Photoshop. Open an image in Photoshop that needs one or more water drops.
Add a new layer by clicking on the New Layer icon and make a circular selection with the Elliptical Marquee Tool . It doesn't have to be a perfect circle, as long as it looks like one. Now press the letter D on your keyboard to make the foreground color black and the background color white. With the selection still active, select the Gradient Tool and select a linear gradient in the options bar at the top.
We are now going to draw a gradient from left to right. We start at the red dot and pull the gradient all the way to the blue dot. After you're done, deselect the selection by pressing Ctrl + D
Set the blending mode of the layer in the layers palette to Overlay.
Add a Layer Style by clicking on the layer style icon in the layers palette .First select Drop Shadow and use the following settings:
When you resize a water drop, make sure you change the distance of the drop shadow; make it smaller if the water drop is going to be smaller, make it bigger if you want a larger water drop.
You can change the shape of the water drop by selecting the layer with the water drop and using the Liquify Tool Filter-->Liquify. and using the Forward Warp Tool
