 |
|
So I tried to follow this tutorial which requires the use of cloud filter. However as soon as I picked the right colours and used the filter I found out that the program ignores background/foreground colours and makes the clouds grayscale instead.
I'm using CS6. The image is on RBG-mode.
Any tips on making some colourized clouds? |

Do the other tools like a brush work normally on the same layer and allow colour? |

Yes, it's just that the clouds won't show colours, unless I coulourize it with something like hue/saturation tool but then again that's not what I want.
EDIT: What's weird about this is that even if I set foreground/background colours both white the clouds will still be black&white. |

That is really weird and I cant think of how it could be happening.
A way to work around if you cant get it solved would be to use your black and white clouds on a layer mask.
If you have the cloud layer mask and a layer of solid colour it will appear as coloured clouds. |

Turns out I have this habit to make all new projects 16Bit (I thought it only meant better quality) instead of the default 8bit and so the clouds always came out in grayscale.  Thanks everyone for replies! |
