Adding Clouds
Software : Photoshop CS2
Level : Advance

Concept: We are adding clouds to the background of the blue sky. Please make a note that we are not enhancing the colors in this lesson. Its just the adding of clouds. Adobe Photoshop provides different types of filters, out of which we are using Render, clouds to apply clouds on the sky. We will be using layer blending mode to merge those clouds into the sky layer. Also we will erase the unwanted portion of the clouds in the image.

Filter > Render > Clouds
