If you add too much, yes. You should just add a tiny bit.

No, that makes it look like rain or hail.

To make the snow look better, add some motion blur to it!

In the upper left corner (right next to the selected pen tool) make sure that you have the icon in the middle selected (total of three). This will only trace a path with no color in the shape you create.

In the video i follow what it shows, but i get stuck at the pin tool at around 3:15 is where the problem is my color changes automatically and you change it manually. . . . what’s the problem?

It’s tricky, but your best bet is the Ellipitcal (round) selection tool. Make a big selection and remove the excess.

This is a really neat video tutorial!! I was wondering, would I be able to do this with Photoshop Elements 5. O, I don’t think I have paths or pin tools, but I have the Lasso, and Magnetic Tool, and the pencil tool. Would those work?
