Awards

After collecting and analyzing of sent to us users' opinions about this program it takes our editors award with a rate "5". This means that this program is popular and was found as convenient and useful.

With the Snowflakes PhotoShop plug-in you can create any type of snow you can imagine, ranging from mild and fluffy snowfall to heavy hailstorms and anything in between.

Snowflakes includes sliders which allow you to change all aspects of the effect. With density you can smoothly change between a few flakes and more than fit the screen. You can also specify the range of flake sizes, allowing you to have all the flakes of equal size, be it small or large or any mixture in-between.

Couple the previous controls with a hardness settings, which allows you you to give the snowflakes hard edges or very soft ones, and a transparency setting and you can use this plug-in to create noise like textures such as wool, dust and the resulting images can even be used as the source for a 3D landscape. Fluffy clouds and water surfaces are also possible by just shifting the controls.

An extra color setting allows for completely different effects such as a festive confetti or romantic rose-leaves falling down. Predefined colors will help you get the effect you want quickly or you can use a custom color for your own personal taste.

At their hardest setting, the snowflakes are perfectly anti-aliassed, at their softest, they are smoothly shaded dots. The effect will render equally beautiful on RGB, grayscale or Duotone modes, with or without (partial) transparency.

We have used only the finest of mathematics (floating point precision math wherever possible) to bring you sub-pixel level accuracy and full scalability; create an effect in a small-sized copy (as Adobe themselves recommend) and it will look identical on the full-sized image. You can save and reload the settings and it will look perfect every time.

Not what I would use for a true photograph, but did exactly what I wanted for a web based banner after a bit of motion blur was added.

Doing what is meant to do
Well, interface is not an extraordinary one, but this plugin is doing what is supposed to do - and that is the most important.
With pretty controllable options/features, it is easy to get what you want...

Fantastic!
I absolutely LOVE this plug-in. It is the easiest snow making program around. Thank you so much for sharing with the rest of us PSPers. I spent a good part of yesterday being VERY creative with the snow, confetti, and 'ink spots' I created with this program.
I rate it A+++++++ or a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5.

Easy to Use
Considering that I'm very PC savvy, this program is very easy to use and I was able to play around with it until I got the effect I wanted.

Let it snow....let it snow....etc
I needed to add a snow effect to a company logo for inclusion in and XMas sendout.
Hey presto, discovered this free plugin. Downloaded and installed it into the plugin folder on Paint Shop Pro and there it was in the programme.
The snow was a little sharp in places but it was fast to work with and I manually applied a little blur but other than that, great for a free plugin.
Nice one.
