Making Snow (Part 2) Video Tutorial

Take a cold, wintery photograph and add the illusion of falling snow. This effect is sure to help you build the perfect on-line Christmas card. In part 2 of this video tutorial we'll blend the Photoshop-manufactured snow into the scene, and fix the edges of the snow effect by transforming the layer outwards. The result will be realistic, editable snowflakes!

Matrix Text Video Tutorial

In this tutorial I'll demonstrate two popular methods of creating a matrix style backdrop and adding larger text to the foreground. The first method involves the use of a text editor and layer masks, while the second only uses filters and colour adjustments - and is therefore probably better suited to Photoshop Elements users. The matrix fonts can be found below in the support files. Unfortunately, the image showing the backdrop of code hasn't come out too good in the video tutorial, but I can assure you - it is there! Good luck.
