Create snow effects with Photoshop - Week 23

Photoshop has an action called Blizzard, don't use it! Instead if you want decent snow without any hassle jump over to the Vanderlee web site and download the FREE snowflakes filter: http://www.vanderlee.com/plugins_snowflakes.html

Watch as Gavin Hoey http://www.gavtrain.com shows you how to use the filter and modify the results to create perfect snow in seconds.

Anywhere you'll find it again. If in doubt your desktop is always a safe bet.

So Gavin, is there ANYTHING like this for Apple users? I've looked around, but I haven't found anything... not to mention I'm not totally sure what I'm looking for....

Have a search on Google for "photoshop snow effects" and you'll find other ways to make snow using photoshop's standard tools.

Why can't I use my Snowflake filter? I downloaded it, it's shown on the filter list but I can't click it.
