Learn how to add falling snow to an image in Photoshop using Noise and Motion Blur filters. The trick is to make a layer with black and Screen blend modes for snow effects, add noise, add crystallize filter, add blur, motion blur and adjust the amount of snow on the photo with the adjustment levels. The directions of snowfall can be determined by adjusting the angle on the window motion blur. If you want to get the effect of the snow with a more natural direction, duplicate layer of snow and then transform 180 degrees.
Final result.
Step 1: Open Photo, Create a New Layer And Fill With Color Black
Select menu File> Open or keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O to open your picture. Choose Layer> New Layer. Please fill in the name of the layer, set the mode to Screen and check Fill with Neutral Color Screen (Black). Click the OK button. For this Photoshop tutorial, I'll use this image that I downloaded from National Geographic.
Step 2: Add Noise
Choose Filter> Noise> Add Noise. Please fill in the amount, select Gaussian and check Monochromatic. Click OK.
Step 3: Add Filter crystallize
Choose Filter> Pixelate> crystallize. Input for value size then click the OK button.
Step 4: Add Blur
Give blur by choosing Filter> Blur> Blur.
Step 5: Add Motion Blur
Choose Filter> Blur> Motion Blur. Adjust the direction of the falling snow by filling angle as well as the size of the snow by filling Distance. Click OK.
Step 6: Set the Amount of Snow With Levels
Choose Layers menu> New Adjustment Layers> Levels. Please slide the Input Levels slider to set the desired amount of snow. Don't forget to click clipping mask icon.
