 how thick do you want the snow?  heavy snowfall blanketing the ground with bits and pieces of rock exposed? or a light dusting with patches of warmer areas exposed?

i usually do everything by hand with some masked areas on different layers  to expose the underlaying surface (rock and ground), this way i can move the masks around till i lie what i see. when  you use the eraser to expose the ground you're stuck with it (because you actually remived the pixels). it's best to experiment in non-destructive ways.

can you post a part of the image? maybe i can take a shot at it and post an explanation.

I think I have achieved what I wanted to several hours using brushes and layers on my snow leopard image, the original had leopard sitting on concrete, I tried turning this into snowy ice and I am very happy with the result. thanks for you input,

thanks
