Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 482 Adding snow to your holiday design, part of Deke's Techniques.
- All right, in this movie we're going to…take our candy cane type effect,…and we're going to really sell it…by adding some holiday season snow.…And as you can see, the snow comprises two elements.…First we have the falling snow,…and then we have the snow that's accumulating on the letters…and naturally I'm going to show you how to create both.…So I'll go and switch over to my document so far,…and I will create a new layer by pressing ctrl shift n…or cmd shift n on the Mac,…and I'm going to call this layer "big noise"…and I'm going to click OK.…Now, I'll fill this layer with black…by first tapping the d key to ensure…that I have my default foreground and background colors,…and then I'll press alt backspace,…or opt delete on the Mac,…in order to fill that layer with black.…
Now, armed with the rectangular marquee tool…up here near the top of the toolbox,…I'll right click inside the image window…and I'll choose "convert to smart object."…And that will allow me to apply…a couple of filters as editable smart filters.…
