: Make droplets stand out on this photo I'm trying to modify this image (with Gimp) to make the droplets on the surface where H905 is written stand out as much as possible, and everything else

@Phylliss782

The best way to make the droplets to stand out is to add new ones to your picture and exaggerate that effect.

You can find a droplet or condensation image online, ideally grayscale, and apply it to your yellow tank using some layer mask (Gimp Layer mask) and blending modes. You can also colorize the droplets any way you want.

Example in Photoshop (Should be similar in Gimp):



Will give this, using the droplets at 35% transparency on a layer, and the luminosity blend effect (apparently "value" mode is a close one in Gimp). These were not even colorized but could be for even better result:



If it's too much, simply keep parts of the droplets and erase some using the mask and a soft brush and play with the transparency of your layers.

This took me a big 2-3 minutes and it's way faster than trying to adjust the levels and the colours, or to try to isolate the droplets!
