Here's a package I've put together that will allow you to brush drops
wherever you'd like using the brush tool preset, layer style and
action I've included. You could also run the action and layer style,
then use a regular brush to brush color onto existing drops.
The zipped package contains 4 files:
1 - A water drops action (.atn file)
2 - A water drops brush tool preset (.tpl file)
3 - A water drops layer style (.asl file)
4 - A text file with instructions and tips
