764 High-resolution snowflakes in Photoshop

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now today we're going to visit the topic…of creating synthetic snow entirely from scratch…inside Photoshop.…Now we first took a look at snow…back in Deke's Techniques 482,…adding snow to your holiday design,…which came out at the end of 2015.…But that image only measured 1,500 pixels wide…by 1,000 pixels tall.…This image here, is twice as wide by twice as tall,…so it contains four times as many pixels.…And so it's time to put away the children's tools,…and bring out the big gun shootin' huge flakes…inside Photoshop.…

Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, let's see how to create synthetic snow…that's ideally suited to a high-resolution image,…here inside Photoshop.…Now, I want the snow to appear in front of…not only the background, but the model as well.…So if you're working along with me,…make sure that the fur layer is selected.…And then, you want to create a new layer…by pressing ctrl + shift + n,…or cmd + shft + n on the Mac,…and I'll call this layer snow and press the enter key…
