Create a falling snow effect in Photoshop and add realistic snow to your winter photos. A step-by-step tutorial.

Nothing adds to a winter photo like falling snow. But capturing those falling snowflakes with your camera can be a challenge. And what do you do if it wasn't snowing? Thankfully, it's easy with Photoshop to create your own snow effect and add the snow later, as I show you step-by-step in this tutorial.

I'm using Photoshop 2023 but any recent version will work. For older versions like CS6, check out my original snow effect video: https://youtu.be/ufGa2OkmKcQ
