In this Photoshop tutorial, Marty from Blue Lightning TV guides you through creating lifelike falling snow effects.
Beginning with a new black layer, Marty adds noise and refines its appearance using Gaussian blur and level adjustments to simulate snowflakes. By applying motion blur and changing the layer mode to screen, he achieves the characteristic softness and transparency of falling snow. Marty enhances the density of the snow by duplicating and transforming the layer, strategically placing snowflakes across different areas of the image.
This iterative process ensures a realistic portrayal of snowfall, making the tutorial invaluable for adding atmospheric elements to digital compositions or enhancing winter-themed photos.
