Clouds filter does not do clouds with foreground and background colors only BW
I'm trying to follow along with the explosions.pdf sneak peek on the main page. Step 3: "Now lock the transparency of the layer, by pressing /. Set the foreground color to yellow, and the background color to red. Now choose Filter > Render > Clouds, which will add a random texture of red and yellow to our object." When doing so I get black and white clouds! Would anybody care to explain how to get the filter to use the foreground and background colors? Running CS3. Thx. |

Re: Clouds filter does not do clouds with foreground and background colors only BW
Hi Ernest, I have just tried rendering red and yellow clouds and it worked for me. At the top of your image window, does it say RGB? I am wondering whether you are working in greyscale mode. To check select Image>Mode to see what mode you are in. Alternatively have you set any adjustment layers above the layer you are trying to render clouds on, e.g. Black & White or Hue & Saturation as they may be affecting what you are seeing. |

Alternatively, you could be working on a Layer Mask, or on a single channel. Try making a new document, and give this another go! |

I got it working correctly now, not sure what I was doing wrong before. Thanks. |
