5. Using your paintbrush, place small dots in a path diagonally, but randomly not following a specific line, all the way across the picture from top to bottom. These are your "snowflakes". Don't worry if your lines are not straight, it's best if they are not and are somehwat "crooked" in your rows. It makes your snowfall after animation a little more realistic.

6. After you have done the first one, go to "Layers" across the top, and select "merge all". Now minimize this picture.
7. Activate your next picture by clicking maximizing it. Repeat the procedure. Do this for the remaining pictures. For a variation and to give it a more realistic "snowfall" effect, on one of these pictures, I use the last one, you can place the "snowflakes" in rather random spiral or circular patterns on the picture. Again when done, promote it to a layer if needed and merge.
8. Save all 4 pictures as psp files. Name them whatever you have decide to call your picture. "Snoscene1.psp" and so on

Animating our Snow

Open the Animation Program while still in Paint Shop. Select "Animation Wizard" and set as follows:
Place a dot in the box that says "same as first image" if it is not already marked. Click "next"
Select "Transparent" and click "next"
Select "centered in the frame" by placing checking the box.
The choose "With the preceeding frames contents" and leave the box at the bottom that says "Scale frames to fit" checked with a dot in the box. Then click "next".
Select "Yes run the animation indefinitely", then where it asks you how long you want it to be displayed..set this at 30 as a lower number makes the snowfall too fast and doesn't look realistic. Click "next"
Now choose each image you are using for this animation. ONE AT A TIME IN THE ORDER you created them from where ever you have them saved. Load ALL 3 or 4 images into the box. Then click next. (I have a separate file just for psp files when making animations to make them easy to find without digging around a lot.)
When the Wizard has your animation completed, it will show as frames. Minimze that window with the frames, and go to "View" at the top menu bar. You should see your completed animation. If you are happy with it, save it, and name it whatever you would like. If you want to resize..now is the time to do that by selecting "animation" from the top menu bar and resizing it if you need, then saving it that way when you are happy with it.
