So, if we double click on the snow layer, what it is going to do is it is going to open a brand new document now and this is called Snow. You don’t know what that is, doesn’t matter. And the reason for that is because I want to actually do what is known as Nested Smart Object. ![]() Alright, so we are going to put all our snow inside of smart object.
