Photoshop - create snow effects on photograph

Let's take a look at how you can create the illusion of snow coming down on a photograph in only a few steps.

• First make sure you have Photoshops default colors of Black as the foreground color and white as the background color.
• Create a new layer - Edit > Fill > 50% gray
• Filter > Noise > Add Noise  (400% Gaussian with Monochronmatic)
• Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur (2.0 pixels)
• Image > Adjustment > Levels (move triangle slides to the right until it looks like snow)
• Change the blend mode of this layer to Screen
 

Enjoy the home made snow!
