     How to make a snow overlay and applying it to a photo


Go to file create new 800 x 800 resolution 100 and fill it with black paint..


Next go to Filter...Noise..Add noise ..I go up to 280 make sure Gaussian and Monochromatic is checked (The higher you set the blur the bigger the snowflakes} click ok..Now go to Filter and click blur and blur more...


 Ok now we have to much noise..We need to get rid of some of the noise.. Go to Image ..Adjustments and  click on levels..Drag the white arrow to lighten and the Black arrow to remove some noise..(Play around and see what you like) once done save your snow overlay..




Now open the photo you want to add the snow overlay to..Drag the overlay onto your photo..You might have to click CTRL+T to adjust the overlay to fit your photo..Click  Filter..Motion Blur and in the angle put -65 and distance 8 pixels (Play around pick what you like) then Change the snow overlay blend mode to "Screen" and that is it!! I wanted to see more snow on my photo so I duplicated the snow overlay layer..

How to create a Photoshop brush

                          How to create a Photoshop brush

 I was looking for some photoshop brushes to use for my printables but just couldn't find any I liked so I made my own brushes and figured this could be a Photoshop tutorial for you guys..

Let's get started...
I like to clear my brush pallet out so the brushes that I make  I  save them as a brush set for later use..
Go to Edit and select preset manager ans make sure the preset type is set on brushes..now click on a brush then hold the shift key down and select the rest of the brushes..once all of them are selected click delete and it should be empty..

  

Go to file and new ...create a  2500x2500 300 resolution.. the maximum size in photoshop is 2500x2500 300 resolution ..I always make it that size so I don't worry if it work or not..



If you draw your image you need to make it in grayscale..Go to Image-mode-grayscale..you can draw an image or I am going to use a custom shape and draw it out once you draw it right click anf rasterize layer


Next go to Edit and define brush set and name your brush/brush set and click ok..your brush should be the Paw or whatever you draw..





Once you create all your brushes for this set and your ready to save them Click on the little folder by your brush (Its in your brush Pallet) make sure it is on brush presets..Click on the little arrow pointing down and you will see save brushes ..Name your brushes and  make sure you get out of grayscale..and that is it!




I hope I didn't confuse you..lol If you have any question leave a comment..
