Add Clouds to a Photo

 



 

 

 

This tutorial is to help you learn how to add simple clouds to the background of any photo.  Ok, once you have your picture open in photoshop:

1.  Duplicate the Background Layer, (Layer>Duplicate Layer)

2.  On the new copied layer render clouds, (Filter>Render>Clouds).  Your photo will look like this on the left so don't worry.

 

 

3.  Change the Blending Mode for the cloud layer to Screen.

 

 

 

4.  Add a Reveal All Layer Mask to the cloud layer, (Layer>Add Layer Mask>Reveal All).

 


5.  Then pick a good sized paint brush and simply paint black anywhere on the Mask where you don't want clouds.  (which is the majority of the photo)
