 | Some of my photos of landscapes are taken on “cloudless” days. Well I want clouds! Here is how I do it. This is the photo I want to add clouds to
|
And this is the image I will use to add the clouds from. 
On my grass layer I added a layer above the background. (Ctrl + J) 
Choose the clone tool. 
On the clouds image, choose a portion you would like to clone onto the grass image. Hold down the ALT key and click with the mouse. 
Switch to the grass image, and begin to paint in the clouds. ….Don’t over do it. 
Double click the layer that has the clouds cloned in. 
This will bring up the “Layer Style” palette.
Move the black triangle to the right as shown below. 
Note the clouds now look kind of funky.
Look closely at the triangle. It’s really in two parts, a right and a
left split down the middle. We want to bring the left part of the
triangle BACK to the left.
To accomplish this hold the ALT key while dragging the left portion of the triangle back to the left. 
This allows for a smooth transition from the layer above (the clouds layer) to the layer below (the grassy layer) 
Now save as a JPG image and you're done.
Gee, I hope those weren’t rain clouds I put in.
