Photoshop Glitter Effect – Glitter Rain

MERCEDES January 12, 2021

Another Photoshop glitter effect this week! This effect is for photography overlays and for creating stunning backgrounds. Obviously, I love glitter, this one is special. In November I moved to Seattle. I’m finally settling in here. Watching the rain on my windows as I work is really inspirational. I am one of the rare people who loves the rain. This Photoshop glitter effect is a nod to the rain.

I designed this texture as an overlay for photography. However, you can easily use it as a background as well. You could create a really beautiful base for typography.

In the video, I’ll show you how to make the Photoshop glitter effect. How to work with blend modes to create a beautiful background, and how to use it as a photo overlay to create interesting effects with your images.

Glitter rain Animation

Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the glitter animation tutorial created using the overlay we create in the first video. We’ll take this overlay one step further and use it to create a shimmering wall of glitter that reveals either text or a logo. The effect has a calming bubble wall effect. Create the overlay with pink or light yellow for a champaign bubble effect as well.

Compare your animation to mine by downloading the glitter animation PSD from the yellow box below. Download other resources for this specific video in the video description on Youtube.
