Keeping that in mind I also recommend adding a Curves Adjustment adding a little extra contrast. Areas you don’t want as part of the brush should be completely black. This helps isolate the blue from the sky and creates more contrast. You can quickly desaturate using the Cmd-Shift-U (Mac) or Crtl-Shift-U (Windows).
Stepsįirst, convert the image to monochrome. I’ll just be making one brush from this but you could make multiples. Then make a loose selection around the preferred cloud formation using the Marquee tool. A wonderfully useful and repeatable way to use clouds is to create a brush in Photoshop. If you don’t already have a number of cloud photos you may want to keep your camera handy as there are lots of ways to use them. Make cloud brushes using Adobe PhotoshopĬheck your photos for cool cloud images. I’m going to share a number of different ways to add and/or use, clouds in your photos. Studying clouds and techniques enhance your images. Now looking at clouds from all sides, up, down, blended and over easy. From up and down and still somehow it’s cloud’s illusions I recall I really don’t know clouds at all …” During the whole process I now and then looked at the screen layer and masked it to enhance the clouds, or even be a new part of it.As Judy Collins says in her song “Both Sides Now,” “I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now. Since clouds have a very bright color, the screen layers blend very well with it. The screen layers only show the brightest parts of the images. Now and then I also cloned in blue areas where I didn't want any clouds. I continued working like this with layer after layer until I had made most of the girl.
Then I used liquify to make the parts just above the bottom left of the dresses. The piece in the above picture is just the bottom left of the dress, so I continued by creating a new layer above it and pressed ctrl+shift+e to copy everything visible. When I was happy with the result (which I was in the above picture) I closed liquify and masked the liquify layer so the transition was smooth. Changing the opacity up and down will make it visible and give you a guideline to how to change the cloud. Play with them and learn what they do!īefore I opened liquify I unhid the top layer of the girl so With backdrop (3) checked it will now show the girl-layer, you don't see it on the picture here because the opacity of the backdrop is 0. The crucial thing here is the settings (2).
To alter the image I used the forward warp tool (1).
