Frosty is an image manipulator. It takes the selected area and does an
algorithm on it and produces a snow like effect on the image. The amount of
snow can vary according to the intensity you select. You can choose between
1 and 99 percent. The effects can be different according to the type of
graphic you are applying the filter to. On simple pictures Frosty acts like
a 'find lines' filter, adding frost along the edges. On more complex
graphics, Frosty adds the 'snow' more evenly. In a sense, think of it as
this: the snow goes into the 'pits' of the image.

The 'snow' color is the current background color you currently have selected.

This is a Adobe Photoshop version 5.0 filter. That is, it works with all
programs that use Photoshop plug-ins compatible with version 3.0 of
Photoshop and higher. The filter has native code for both 680x0 and PowerPC
based Macintoshes. I don't have a 680x0 Mac anymore so I cannot test it but
it is based on the same code. If there are any problems, please let me know.

What's different since 1.0 (a.k.a. New Features)
* Frosty is now a version 5 Photoshop filter
* Previews in the dialog box
* Numbers based on percent, not levels
* Fat binary, supports PowerPC and 680x0
* Faster algorithm
* Works if you have multiple layers in your document
* Placed in the 'Noise' menu now instead of 'Stylize'
* Better documentation with example!
