Go to Filter > Pixilate > Crystallize. Set the Cell Size to 10 then hit OK. That looks a little to fake still.
It's fair enough learning some good Photoshop skills but putting them into practice to create good designs is what is important. Through this tutorial I'll be teaching you how to create this cool looking poster design using some real simple techniques. We'll be learning how to use different types of brushes effectively and also stock images. A lot of Photoshop tutorials around the web show you how to start with nothing and end up with something but if you want to start really designing, you've get to learn how to use good resources, like textures, brushes and renders. Today we're going to be doing just that through creating a snowboard deck, the inspiration for this tutorial came from Aeriform, a design company with a very impressive portfolio; check it out! We're going to need a snowboard template, so download this template made by Nuno Lopes; a great digital artist. Secondly we need an abstract 3D render so download this pack, made by K3 Studio.?? Lastly we need a Chinese font, this is optional though, I used this one so?? download and install it. Sorry for making you download a few things but trust me its worth it, you'll end up using more than once, a good idea is to have a resource folder on your computer where you can put all these resources and organize them into different folders like brushes, renders etc. Anyway lets get going! The theme of the piece we're about to create is snowboarding and consists in a combination of photography, special effects and typography. The photo is the focal point and is no more than a cut out snowboarder. The type is the actual name of the performed trick, an alley oop. And finally, the wavy lines and splatters tie in the two elements by suggesting motion and speed. "We all know the typical "flying snowboarder through the air" photo. Add a lens flare, and you've got it made! In this tutorial we're giving the ol' concept a spin by using wavy lines that suggest motion and paint splatters for snow. Let's get to it!"

You will need a shape that can be used as a pattern. That pattern will then be placed on a circle in order to make some cool and unique looking snowflakes! While experimenting with shapes, I quickly realized the best designs were created through trial and error. The shapes that resulted were part calculated and part random. If you're interested in experimenting, (and I recommend that you do) go ahead and make a shape similar to the one below. I used a combination of the pen tool, simple shapes, and the pucker and bloat filter to create mine. However, since the main focus of this tutorial will be on the steps forthcoming, when I get into patterns and brushes; I've placed the shape I used for download here. It is also pictured below. 9. So, we have prepared for the main part - making snow. Use brush tool to paint snow. Click the upper portion of the text and drag your mouse along the letters. It is possible to move along... to You can move a bit over the letters themselves to increase the volume of snow (to make it hang from eaves or letters). Cover a few letters in such way (Web). Then create a new layer using the same settings (steps 4-7). Cover a few more letters with snow (Design). And then move on to the word "Library" - on a new layer as well. Today we are going to design a beautiful snowy sky that can be used for either a nice Christmas header or banner. This is a relatively simple tutorial but it brings out a nice beautiful result. In my belief, any beginner in Photoshop can work around the tutorial and achieve the same results. 1. First start a new canvas, doesn't matter about the size, I'm going to use 640*480 for this tutorial. And start up with a transparent background. Begin with a new layer and make a circle using the elliptical marquee tool (m) and fill it with white, this will be the body of the snowman, so it should be big. This is how mine looks: I found the nose is too sharp so made it blunt by drawing a small circle at the tip and erase the excessive portion. Finally we add some blending options to the snow layer. Add a drop shadow with a distance of 0, and a size and spread around 5 - 10. You may also need to change some of the blending options on the text if it doesn't look good. Ngeditfoto give you the simple way to make a snow effect using photoshop, this is very simple and easy, this photoshop tutorial usefull for photo editing, background etc, let's do it... 1. open your image 2. add new layer, do not fill with green, because that is not suitable..he.he, choose black color 3. then choose filter>add noise>monochromatic 4. add blur>motion blur 5. and then change the layer mode to screen 6. last, change the opacity to 50% 7. finish 35.

Open the picture you want to add a curtain of falling snow to in Photoshop. I chose Carmen Electra for my experiments.
A Photoshop tutorial explaining in detail how to create beautiful snowflakes, each completely unique just like real snowflakes. I've also written a tutorial on how to use these snowflakes to create a Winter Wonderland Background or Wallpaper. Start with a blank square canvas of 600 x 600 Pixels. We are done with a winter background; now let's start to create our own snowflakes. Select the Line Tool (Weight: 5 px) and make a couple of lines using color of #4bb4f0 like on picture below: Now we need to replace black with transparent. Use the following sequence: - select all (Ctrl-A) - copy (Ctrl-C) - turn on quick mask (Ctrl-Q) - paste (Ctrl-V) - turn off quick mask (Ctrl-Q) - invert selection (Ctrl-Shift-I) - delete (Del). You should get something like shown here.
Again select Brush Tool (B) and fill the text with snowflakes. Play with Master Diameter. I set it from 16px to 50px depending of the snowflake. So then photoshoppers as we approach christmas I thought I'd get into the festive spirit and make a few Christmas tutorials! This first tutorial is going to show you how to make the same star/snow effect I've got in the header of the site. This wasn't exactly all that hard to do but it's a fiddley one so open your photoshop, and let's get to work! Open the picture that you want to put snow in it. That's your background Layer now. Create a Layer Group above the Layer group. In the Layer Group Create a new Layer. Fill this Layer with 50%Gray. Now go Filter > Noise > Add Noise... 50%, Gaussian Distribution, Monochromatic. After that go Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur... Radius 4.0 pixels. There is your simple snow effect, and as you can see it's quite simple! The miniature snow flakes look almost as if they are illuminated by light - thats my favorite part of it! Open up your image you want to add snow to, create a new layer and fill with the color black. Then goto "filter > noise > add noise" use settings below, This very easy tutorial will tell you how you can add snow to your photo. I'm using a beautiful winter photo by Magda Skale. Some images would really benefit with falling snow, but if you missed out you could always add it later with Photoshop. That way you can keep warm and dry! As with most snow scenes we are still left with a colour cast but using Photoshop 7's new Auto Colour commands found under the Image > Adjustments Menu this easily removes the colour cast. Making snow is not all that hard, but it does consume some time. We will start with an earlier picture that is appropriate and start with the basics and proceed from there. First thing I do with any chop is to up the resolution from the crappy 72 dpi to 300. This allows me cleaner work overall. This also adds some steps that may or may not be needed if you don't do this. After upping the resolution, make sure your colors are set to black & white. Then create a new layer, in my case will be named �falling snow� Then, because of my upped dpi I draw a small rectangular box and fill it with clouds. Advanced way is using layer mask; it's non-destructive as you do not delete anything but simply hide it. Select Layer - Layer Mask - Reveal All, then take large soft brush, set brush opacity to 20-30%, press D to set foreground color to black and paint over the areas where you want to hide snow. Set brush color to white to reveal snow again. Brush King is a collection of high quality Photoshop Brushes.
