► NEW PS 2024 VERSION HERE: ua-cam.com/video/Iwmct1sS8do/v-deo.html Hi everyone, Steve here. In this video, I show you how easy it is to add falling snow to your winter photos with Photoshop! This update to my original snow effect video from a few years ago is for Photoshop 2023 or any recent version. Check out these other videos as well that use many of the same steps to create other effects, like adding rain (ua-cam.com/video/_vWPnbJq8Zs/v-deo.html) or adding stars to a night sky (ua-cam.com/video/o0gYwyJoAv4/v-deo.html). As always, thank you so much for watching!
@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel I have just done it Steve and it looks great! The photo I chose was one taken at a Garden Centre recently where they had a lovely indoor Christmas display - with a family member standing in front. Now I have added snow - the photo looks terrific! Thank you!
Hi ! Amazing video ! at 6:15 when I try to make the second layer of snowflakes bigger, the option Filter -> Pixelate -> Cristallize is gray and unable to select, Photoshop allows me to select only Facet, Fragment and Mosaic. Any idea how to fix this ?
Hi, Steve, I have the same questions, when I try to make the second layer of snowflakes bigger, the option Filter -> Pixelate -> Cristallize is gray and unable to select, Photoshop allows me to select only Facet, Fragment and Mosaic. Any idea how to fix this ? Thanks. Yuan
Hello! I am working my way through this tutorial and when I try to add the crystalize filter, I get a "not enough ram memory to complete the task" message. The computer is brand new with 32 GB, 2 x 16 GB, DDR5, and nothing else is running. Isn't that enough memory?
First thing to check would be the current size of your document with all the layers added. In the lower left of the document window is a status area showing info about your document. Click the arrow to the right of the info and choose Document Sizes from the top of the menu. Two sizes will be shown. The size on the right (the larger of the two) is the size with your layers added. What does it say?
Here's a way to fix the problem. After you fill the "Snow" layer with noise and scale it up by 400%, but before you convert the layer to a small object, make sure the "Snow" layer is active. Then go to Select > All, then Image > Crop, and then Select > Deselect. This will crop away everything on the layer that's outside the canvas and keep the document's file size much smaller. You can then convert the layer to a smart object and continue with the remaining steps.
@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel Thank you for responding. I am really enjoying the way you teach. Well, it must be really big because it is even too big to save LOL. The Doc size is 95.3M/3.07G
That is a big file. But the real problem is that along with needing the RAM to hold the document itself in memory, Photoshop needs lots of additional RAM for all of its calculations. My PC has 32 GB of RAM as well but I do run into issues occasionally.
@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel Doing this allowed me to finish the project. Thank you. Would starting with a jpeg instead of bringing a raw file over from Lightroom be a better thing to do?

Thanks! And thanks for watching!
I noticed it asked me to save it as a PSB because the size was too big is that because of using noise
