Page 2 of 4 Adding the clouds Now we'll add some clouds. To add the clouds, our primary tool will be the clouds brush. This saves a lot of time compared to finding cloud images on the internet and creating your own brushes. Click on the image below to find the download link for the 7x Cloud Brushes.
 Load the brush you just downloaded into Photoshop (Make sure you extracted the zip file first). Select the Brush tool then right mouse click to display the brush settings. Click on the flyout menu icon (tiny circle with triangle inside) located on the top right and select Load Brushes. Browse for the brush and click OK.  Now add a new layer called Cloud and put it inside the Sky layer group.  Make sure you still have the Brush tool selected. Right mouse click to go into the brush settings and scroll all the way down the list of brushes to find the Clouds brushes. Select one that you like and set the Master Diameter to the width of your image. For example, my photo is 800x600 so I will enter in 800px as the Master Diameter.  Make sure you have the Clouds layer selected. Click where you want to place the cloud. If you don't like the appearance of the cloud, you can press Ctrl+Z to undo and select another brush.  This is what my image looks like after adding clouds. It looks a lot more interesting but still looks like a regular dull snapshot.
