That looks like Burlington VT. No lack of snow there!

I like the video, Very nice photoshop,
Bravo, Maestro!
Great Technique, and, I have to say, a lot of this steps can be used individually for applying them to photo images too.
Looking forward to read your “Down & Dirty Tricks” book soon, congrats again for your stupendous tutorials!
Greetings from Spain!
JL Santos…
Great tutorial, easy and fun. A question though, when I press Shift Delete, nothing happens! No Fill dialogue. Is that something that is unique to the MAC version? I’m using CS5 Extended 64 bit on Win7.
It comes up if I delete something on the background layer, but not if I delete anything from the new layer, even if there are pixels (ie the layer is not blank) on the layer?
Thank you Corey, I am glad to have found such a lesson. Poor quality when you save that bad.
I was wondering how do you save this afterwards like a gif you could import into a website
Thanks for the tutorial
I was working on an email for my job and loved this idea for falling snow and it came out great because of this tutorial. I also needed to create an email for a celebration and I used this same idea to make it look like confetti is falling. I just brushed different colors over the white areas after you adjust the levels after adding the noise. Worked like a charm.
