Tutorial: How to change a boring sky to a cool cloudy sky
Written by Kiri (17 Jan 2008 08:33 AM)
A brief tutorial, to change a boring sky into an interessting cloudy sky. Because no one will believe, that you've got such a fine weather in the alps.
- Select the whole blue sky with the magic-wand-tool. To select the whole sky, move the mouse a little bit to the right side, while you push the mouse-button

click to enlarge - Add a new, transparent layer from the selection. Entitle this layer „Clouds“. In my example („Wolken“ which is the German word for clouds)

click to enlarge - Call the layer-dialogue (STRG+L). Activate the cloud-layer

click to enlarge - Apply Filter / Render / Clouds / Plasma.

click to enlarge - Colours, Desaturate.

click to enlarge - Now change the layer mode to either:
„Screen“ or „Overlay“ or „Soft Edges“
click to enlarge - Feel free to experiment with the transparency of the layer. Or you can duplicate the clouds-layer to get a stronger look - just as you like!
