Realistic Looking Snow in Photoshop
In this not so big, but very useful tutorial I will teach you how to create the snow in Photoshop. Hope, it will looks like real snow.

Before we get started I would like you to download stock photo of pine with Christmas ball, which you can download from here. Also you can find some appropriate pictures on Google Images. Open up the picture and begin the tutorial. Begin from the background. As we know the snow under the pine should be darken than on the foreground. Ok, select the Brush Tool and one of the standard brushes in the Photoshop gallery.Photoshop updates
