The Blur and Blur More commands have been around since forever in Photoshop and both give us a quick, no-hassle way of blurring an image. Here's the photo I'll be using for this tutorial:

But when you focus on the techniques themselves, not the actual steps or the final results, and begin to understand the "why" behind what you're doing, you may just find yourself staring at something one day and thinking "You know, I bet I know how to do that in Photoshop!". Memorizing steps can give you a serious case of tunnel vision in Photoshop, where all you ever see is what's directly in front of you. In fact, one of the great things about Photoshop is that if you focus on learning techniques rather than on memorizing steps, you'll soon discover that the same techniques can be used to create entirely different effects! In this tutorial, we're going to be adding falling snow to our photo, but if you've been following along with some of our other tutorials, you may recognize the technique we'll be using here, since we've used to same basic technique to add rain to a photo and to create a starry night sky. Fortunately, when the weather forecast fails us, Photoshop can still save the day. You may have found the perfect winter landscape scene or snapped a great photo of your kids building their very first snowman, and the only thing that would have made the photo even better is if it had been snowing at the time, which of course, it wasn't. Of course, as with any season of the year, getting Mother Nature to pose for our photos isn't always easy. Or maybe it's all just a shameful excuse to drink too much hot chocolate.
But to me, there's nothing better than waking up to a fresh blanket of snow covering the city, or hearing that crunching sound the snow makes under my boots, or watching the snowflakes glisten and sparkle under the street lights as I take my dog for a walk in the quiet calm of a cold winter night. Sure, it's not always easy to drive in, and scrapping ice off the car windshield is never fun.

This version of the tutorial is for Photoshop CS5 and earlier. She also reports “little tricks like aiming towards the zones where less snow is dumped.” Bizalion says she tries to remember to breathe through her nose.In this Photoshop Effects tutorial, we'll learn how to easily add realistic falling snow to a winter photo. Stahl says that because it can get slippery, the dancers put rosin (a powdered form of tree resin) on their shoes to make them stickier. So we asked two dancers, Principal Dancer Jennifer Stahl and Corps de Ballet member Ludmila Bizalion, how they navigate the snow scene. It is sifted through to remove dirt, hairpins, sequins, and other debris and then reused at the next performance.Īt intermission, the question on everyone’s lips seems to be: how do the snowflakes dance in all that snow? During intermission, the fallen snow is swept and shoveled into large bins. Each bag is manipulated by two members of the stage crew who make the snow fall. During the performance, three long, narrow bags of 200 pounds of snow are suspended above the stage, hidden from the audience.
The snowflakes are made out of paper and are created by a giant hole puncher.
