Ok first get your signature that you want rain effect on. Open it up.

Next go to Layers>Duplicate Layer

Duplicate your signature layer two times. In total you'll haave 3 layers of your signature.

Make a new WHITE layer. Make 2 more WHITE layers. YOu'll have 3 WHITE layers.

Go to Dialog>Layers.

Hold and drag the WHITE layers so they look like this:

Now select a white layer by clicking on it in the layer menu. Go to Filters>Noise>Scatter RGB

UNCHECK Independant RGB and move the GREEN BLUE AND RED sliders to .50

Then Click OK

Do the same to the other 2 WHITE layers.

Now Select a white layer and go to Filters>Blur>Motion blur

CHECK preview

Change lenght to 7

Click Ok.

Do the same to the other 2 WHITE layers.

Now go to the Layer menu again.

Select a WHITE layer and change its MODE to Muliply.

The MODE selection is in the Layer menu near the top.

1 question. Did you get this from a tutorial made by a guy named Fencepost on Gimptalk.com?

I don't know the gu's name but I am pretty sure it's off Gimp Tutorials.
That's why I said "Don't credit me for this"

I am not copyrighting anything just thought people who don't know but Gimp Tut. can find it useful.
