How to make picture fading away ?

[UkLz]

Hello folks.

Today I wanted to create a picture for Burzum album.

And I was about to look like this:




Buut, I wanted to put some fading effects just like in this picture:





Can you recognize those fading effects like raining or so... ?


Well, I wanted to ask you exactly that. How to create such a thing in Photoshop CC 2015 ?

Thanks in advance.

Is this similar to what you are after? It isn't as grainy as your second image - though that is easily doable.



To achieve this

• I searched google for an image of a charcoal background.
• I then applied a linear blur to get the streaking.
• Next step was to use select by colour range to select the sky. I promoted this to a new layer using Ctrl + J
• I placed the charcoal image on a layer above the promoted layer.
• Then I applied a clipping mask to "Clip" the charcoal image to the sky.
• I then used free transform to rotate and resize the clipped layer.

Cheers
