21.12.2010, 10:05Photoshop CS5 Tutorial
Today’s tutorial probably fits the season like none other. :) In case you haven’t seen enough snow yet, I’ll show how to simulate realistic snowfall in Photoshop. I picked an image of the famous, rebuilt Frauenkirche in Dresden (Germany). It was unmistakably snapped in winter but lacks the idyllic curtain of snow coming from above. I’m going to add it now. The steps are fairly simple and easy to follow. To ease understanding of the single steps I included loads of pictures to show you what to do. Enjoy!
