You are on the dry side of the glass. Each preset here gives the water on the pane its texture, then takes the scene beyond it down: saturation out, the blue band set low, the frame cooled, so shape survives and colour does not compete. Rain Bead is where you start, every drop given an edge and the street behind it left soft.
Drops follow the water. Runnel and Drop Trail raise texture on the track a drop leaves. Rain Streak gives long streaks their surface. Downpour Glass holds the whole window low-key while the beads come forward. Sill Pool finds the water gathered at the bottom of the frame. Panes are about the glass: Wet Pane and Condensation take dehaze negative so the bloom stays, Fogged Pane sets the midtones down until the fog reads heavy, Wiper Sweep keeps the film the blade left, Grey Pane lets the weather do the talking.
After dark, you keep the lights. Night Pane holds the glow through the drops off the ceiling and lifts the toe so the dark stays open. Streetlight Bloom raises the orange band so one lamp carries. Bokeh Rain contains the bright cores behind a wet pane. Cab Window darkens the frame and cools the exterior, so the inside feels sheltered.
You apply one, then you look again. The drops are still yours to sharpen or soften.
