Here is the snow that I will be using -



I have different types of snow, but this is one of my favorite. The snow effect that I often found, had more than 20 frames which makes it a large file, often too big to be uploaded and used at some sites. So, I made this snow hoping to achieve the same, graceful effect - yet only using 5 frames. I know it's hard to see against this background, but it's really there! Just right click in the middle of the box and save it to your computer.

Go to http://mirror.imagemagick.org/Magic...agickStudio.cgi and click on "browse", find your image name, click on it and then click "open". Now "press to view" and wait for your image to appear. Always wait on each page to fully load as it could cause a problem with the finished image if we don't.    

Now, click on the "composite" tab up top and wait for the next page. When it appears, click on "browse", find your animated snow, click on it and then click "open". Scroll down and using the drop down arrow, select "north" for your "gravity" option. For "compose", choose "over" and put a check by "tile across and down the image canvas". Now, "press to composite" and wait for the next page to appear.

When your image is finished loading, you might be able to see "some" of the animation, but sometimes it won't be fully animated until we finish the "output" process. Click on the "output" tab up top. On the next page, "press to output" and again wait for your image to appear. When it has fully loaded, you will now see the full animation. Right click on the top, single image and save to your computer.  If you ever have a problem with it not saving correctly, you can also double click on the finished image and wait for it to come up on a page by itself and after it fully loads, right click and save to your computer.

Here is the finished image -
