Snow Daze

To put it in short, Snow Daze is a photo effect program whose focus is on adding snow, frost and clouds to a picture so that it fits winter weather, bringing the spirit of Christmas into the photo. The application is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android as well as Windows, and consists of several simple tools like cropping, zooming, moving the image, etc. You can import and export images in a matter of a few clicks, and the Randomize button applies a random combination of the effects to the selected image, making room for creativity and just fun.

Snow Daze has one job, to create snowy scenes directly on your photo, so its set of tools is small but focused. It comes with 12 one-touch settings, 10 snow types and 10 cloud finishes, supports high-resolution images and lets you hold the Original button to compare the result with the source photo. One thing Snow Daze definitely helps you with is presets: you can use the built-in ones or save your own settings and apply them to other pictures later, once again in just a few clicks.

Snow Daze turns an ordinary photo into a snowy winter scene in a few clicks, which is ideal for holiday cards.

Features:

• Adjustments like image color, white scene (frost), contrast and cloud strength, as well as snow-specific ones like snow strength and snow fade, from a light snowfall to a heavy blizzard
• Creating, saving and deleting presets in addition to the built-in ones, done easily and with no hassles
• Simple editing tools like cropping, undo and redo of changes, zooming, fitting the image to the window and others
• Brush tools that erase the effect from selected areas such as faces or add it back, with a reset option and customizable brush size and opacity

Snow Daze is commercial software from JixiPix. A free demo is available for Windows and Mac, and the full desktop version is now sold as part of the JixiPix Premium Pack, which bundles 18 photo effect apps and also works as a plugin for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom and PaintShop Pro. It is a good choice for making holiday cards or adding a winter touch to an ordinary photo without learning a full image editor, and the results can be saved at full resolution.
