It is an interesting processing technique but the colour is wrong anyway. The sepia effect warms it up, not cools it. It has been used as a blunt instrument and destroyed a good portion of the detail in your image. The (perhaps) better technique would be to use selections based on the colour of the grass and path. With these selections, on new layers, add the snow. Snow is an addition to the environment, and not a color. Use median on the snow layers to soften them out a little and add a little blue/indigo. The Original image could then be desaturated a little and a touch of blue added to give it a much cooler feel. Andrew has a point here.

Thanks for writing this up David, I need to learn photoshop again and this could come in handy for some tweaking of images. Andrew, That’s one ugly edit ;) Seriously, I ain’t joking.

Did you see the before and after shots on Flickr ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/digmotv/ Sometimes people need to add snow / frost to a photo and I for one think the result is realistic. As a photoshop novice being able to recreate this look is challenge enough. Thanks Andrew.
