Hi everyone

I came across this artists great looking postcard and I would love to know how he got the snow to look so real and fluffy in this image.
I don't read German so I have no idea what he is talking about?

If you have the Google toolbar installed for your browser, you can just right click over the German Forum page and choose 'translate to English'.

Here's his quote on how he created the snow:
schnee zeichnen, pixel f?r pixel ="pixels for pixels draw snow".

Even without translation, the photos give a good idea of what was involved...great work.

There is an action on the Adobe Studio Exchange which does a very good job of adding snow to an image. I think the technique the artist used is worthy of analysis even though you may not use her action. If you go to ASE and navigate to...

Main?>?Photoshop?>?Actions?>?Image Effects?>?Winter Wonderland

Worth1000 is running a "Let It Snow" contest right now. Here is a tutorial from the site explaining how one Worther achieved the snowy effect.
