How to create a snow on text?

Snow on Text


1. Create a new document and fill the background with a dark color, this is so we can see the snow better, we can change the background color at the end.

Then use your type tool to type in your text.

2. Select the lasso tool. Then draw your selections on top of your one of your letter. This will be your snow, so make it look runny/dripping from the top down.

3. Now create the same type of selection for the rest of your text, but do this by "adding" to the selection. To add to selection, in the selections' menu bar, select the "Add to Selection" button.

5. Press CTRL+D to deselect your selection.

Then go to Filter -> Blur -> Guassian Blur
Radius: 3px

Now go to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels
Move your levels sliders so the image is sharp and smooth.

6. Create a New Layer. Go to Select -> Load Selection, in the load selection pannel, in the channel field, select Alpha 1. Then fill in the selection (on the new layer) with white. Now you can press CTRL+D to deselect.
