Naw, people, I wasjust kidding about the color - colour thing. Just trying to raise up a rant. I remember when I was in art school -seems like a lifetime ago- and with Daddys money I could afford to buy Windsor and Newton oil colours. very expensive but very good paint. Just that word colour there on the tubes made me feel like I was getting quality.
Hey Al, is Tunshie Heided Sassenachs good. I hope so because if it is'nt we might have to go bomb your country! Oh wait,you all are with us on this one. Well,, I better leave the world situation alone,, I could go an a rant myself.

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair!
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary, fu' o' care!

Burns...after a few Laphroaigs and Ardbegs..., and dreaming of the glorious days at Bannockburn!...

Hey, gov'ner, can ye spare me a few bob for a cuppa thee?

Or as they say in "my" country: "Filopenn, chalopenn, an diaoul en e glopenn, gant Merc'h an Dour Zall, ken diaoulez hag all."

colour is "liv"

To go back to your topic: you can also use two layers with clouds, apply different colours to them, add a layer mask, and fill that with black and white clouds. These you can tweak with filters, curves, levels, etc...

You can also use blend modes etc...

Photoshop always offers many solutions to tackle a problem...

This one was done with three layers, each one with clouds applied to it but with different colours. Then I added masks to the two top-layers and applied clouds to these. A bit of tweaking with levels, and then I applied Edit>Transform>Distort , a great way to make clouds a bit more realistic.

(done. ta, Erik)

Erik Nice clouds. I tried what you said and got some good effects. This photoshop is infinite. I just wish I had more time to play-work with it.

What are Laphroags and ardbegs?
It's pretty incredible to be able to communicate with people from all over the world. I wonder what it would have been like to have had P.S. in the psychedelic 60s.

Laphroaig and Ardbeg, etc are single malt whisky's from the isle of Islay. In my opinion, Islay whisky's are the world's best. Their taste, a mixture of smoke, seawater is pure adventure, and it brings up memories of a past I that isn't mine, a past of coming home when it's cold and rainy, and drying one's bones beside the fire.

Many's the lad who fought on that day,
Well the claymore could wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden fields...

Culloden was where the English slaugthered Scotland's pride with organised rifles squads against broadswords (called claymores)...

'nother way of creating multi-coloured clouds is to fill a doc with medium grey (you remember how, when adding a layer?) and then apply clouds/difference clouds to each separate channel. Now that is psychodeliric!
People should play do more channeling! [innocent]

Woo Hoo! %} Do that on a two different layers, crank up the unsharpen mask and set your top layer to "Difference" - now we're groovin! B7

Thanks for the tip, Erik!
