Tutorial 1, create a new 400*400 pixel file and use a gradient fill. #76B6F4-#3E6CAA
2, the foreground and background color to the default black and white. Create a new layer for clouds to perform the filter--render--Cloud execution filter--render--layered clouds (layered clouds can execute multiple times, the final cloud effect depends on the effect of the filter)
3,ctrl+l adjust the levels, parameters such as figure
4, the rough figure of the cloud has already come out. Copy the clouds layer to CLOUDS2 and execute the filter--styling--protruding
Effect as shown:
5, performing Filters-blur-Gaussian Blur
6, finally clouds layer and CLOUDS2 layer of the layer blending mode is set to filter color
7, the final effect we can add some shadow to the cloud to increase the level of sense. A lot of ways, you can use the brush to adjust the lower transparency of the cloud edge to draw a circle.
My own method is more alternative, create a new layer use selection-the Color range menu separates the white clouds and uses the "Bevel and emboss" in the layer style to add a shadow to the cloud. More brain, you can play a lot of tricks, do some ugly, laughed!
