Water Drops

Water Drops creates a wide variety of liquid shapes: spheres, spurts, spills, spots and more. You can select the color of the drops, make them pool together and distort underlying images as if they had been rained on.

### Basic Tab

Drop Size

Controls the size of the liquid blobs. High values yield fewer, larger drops. Low values splatter the selection with small drops.

Coverage

Controls the percentage of the selection covered with liquid. You can select any value between 1 and 100 percent.

Clumping

Creates gravity between the drops. At higher values the liquid pools together, forming large irregularly shaped blobs.

Sharpens the edges of drops and boosts the brightness of the liquid color.
