Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 765 Enhancing your big, juicy snowflakes, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] All right, so we've got some…synthetic snow, suited to a high resolution image,…but we need much, much more.…Which is why, in this movie, I'll show you…how to enhance your big, juicy snowflakes.…And it's really just a matter of building on…what we have so far and cleaning some of…the snow off the model's face.…Because we want to be thoughtful, don'tcha know?…All right, so you may recall that our snow…is ultimately a smart object.…And that means we can change it size…and we can change the filter settings…without harming a single pixel inside the image.…
And so I'm going to start things off by jumping…a copy of this snow layer, which you can do…by pressing Control + j here on a PC,…or Command + j on the Mac.…Then, go up to the Edit menu and choose…Free Transform, or you have that keyboard shortcut…of Control + t, or Command + t on the Mac.…If you get this alert message, all it's telling you…is that during the time you're transforming the layer,…you will not see the smart filters.…So just go ahead and click Okay.…
