Snow on Trees
1. To create the snow on the trees, I first used Magic Wand and selected
portions of the tree. Selecting on it one time did not select all of the
leaves because there were a variety of shades. So what I had to do was
repeatedly click on certain shades of the tree until most of the tree
was selected.
2. After I got all of the selection from the tree, I used Feather and
set the pixel to 2.
3. I then created a new layer and filled in the selection with a white
color.
This procedure had to be done several time because, as you can see, there
are a lot of trees!
Snowflake
1. This procedure is easier to show visually then through text-based
only. But I will try my best to explain it. The first thing that I did
was creat a triangle using the Polygon Lasso Tool. After than, I filled
the selection with a white color.
2. I then started to cut out sections from the triangle. After it was
done, it looks a lit like a cheese that you would see in cartoons (Tom
and Jerry).
3. I then duplicated the layer to create the same object, flipped it
horizontally and aligned it close with the other triange.
4. I then had to merge the two layers together.When that was done, I
know had one side of the snowflake.
5. The final step was to create 4 copies of the layer and rotate each
90 degrees from the previous object. That's it.
