To make the snow look better, add some motion blur to it!

[Friedebarth]

No, that makes it look like rain or hail.

[jancom777]

If you add too much, yes. You should just add a tiny bit.

In the video i follow what it shows, but i get stuck at the pin tool at around 3:15 is where the problem is my color changes automatically and you change it manually....what's the problem?

[pjdaprinz]

In the upper left corner (right next to the selected pen tool) make sure that you have the icon in the middle selected (total of three). This will only trace a path with no color in the shape you create.

This is a really neat video tutorial!! I was wondering, would I be able to do this with Photoshop Elements 5.O, I don't think I have paths or pin tools, but I have the Lasso, and Magnetic Tool, and the pencil tool. Would those work?

[PhotoGavin]

It's tricky, but your best bet is the Ellipitcal (round) selection tool. Make a big selection and remove the excess.

[eamesgoren]

o.k, thank you!!
