Cloud
Step 1: Add cloud to sky
Open the photo you want to add the clouds to. Then navigate to ‘File > Place embedded‘ and select the photo of the cloud you want to use.
Resize the cloud layer and pick the correct position for the cloud.
Step 2: Blend clouds with sky
Change the blending mode of the cloud layer to ‘screen‘.
Then add a black & white layer.
Right click on the black & white layer and select ‘create clipping mask‘.
Then adjust the cyans and the blues until the cloud is blended with the sky.
And that’s how you can easily add a cloud to your sky in Adobe Photoshop!
