Now let's add flakes closer to us. We'll do something similar to the previous step, but it'll be quicker and easier.

2. Open the new layer set and ungroup the curve adjustment layer. Activate the layer with the snowflakes.
   
3. Make the flakes look closer to us by doubling the scale: Edit -> Transform -> Scale and set the scale to 200% using the boxes at the top of the screen. Again, make sure you click on the little link icon between the width and height boxes.
