Contrast clouds

April 10, 2009 by Corey Barker Tip of the Day 1 Comment

Pressing the Option (PC: Alt) key when invoking the Clouds filter (Filter>Render>Clouds) will increase the contrast between the Foreground and Background colors, giving you clouds with a higher contrast.

Immediately following the cloud rendering, if you press Command-Option-F (PC: Ctrl-Alt-F), you’ll get clouds with even more contrast. Press this key combination as many times as you like until your clouds are visually appealing.    from Bert Monroy
