Snowy Text

[evank3]

This is a sample output:

Step 1: Start with a blank document. I used 300x200 but it doesn't matter.

Step 2: Add a new layer with the text of your choice.

Step 3: Repeat last step with a white coloring.

Step 4: Add a jitter to the white text.

Step 5: Remove the jitter above the uppercase text first.

Step 6: Then remove the jitter above the lowercase text.

Step 7: Add a downwards motion blur.

Step 8: Add a gausian blur to the snow. I used 4 or so.

Step 9: Duplicate this layer until you have reached a desired snow thickness.

Step 10: Add a new layer with an elipse covering part of the text.

Step 11: Use the magic wand tool on the text layer to select around the text and delete on the new elipse layer.

Step 12: Add dents to the image.

Step 13: Use a gausian blur on the image.

Step 14: Duplicate the layer to the desired thickness.

Step 15: If wanted, add a gausian blur to the normal text.

Its a very strange effect and looks more foamy than snowy, kinda complicated around the eclipse deleting part, here's what i got by using a paint brush instead of an eclipse.

You may want to include the link to the jitter effect.

And step three you can duplicate the layer and set the brightness to 100.

But it's a nice effect nonetheless.

Can you re-upload the pictures again? they all have red x's over them. Only steps 9 and 15 show pictures.
