Step 5: The Cloud Roof and its Shadow
Now, prepare your eyes, we’re about to put something really amazing! We’ll be replacing the house’s roof with clouds. Open Above 3 by castock and Select All (Ctrl/Cmd + A) and Copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C) the image then Paste (Ctrl/Cmd + V) to our canvas.
Position it as shown below:
The Above 3 image is quite huge so we need to resize it. Like we did before, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and transform it, you can press Ctrl/Cmd + 0 if you want to see the whole Above 3 image. Now, let’s enhance the color of the Above 3 image, non-destructively of course. Click on the Create New/Fill Adjustment layer button.
Click on Vibrance and input the following once it opens:
Next, open the Adjustment Layers menu once again and click on Brightness/Contrast.
Once it opens, input the following:
To make it more realistic, let’s add some shadow under the cloud image so let’s create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N), and name it “Central Shadow”. Make sure that this layer is above the cloud layer.
We don’t need to put a Clipping Mask on the Clouds since we are going to paint both on the Clouds and the Roof at once. Activate the Brush tool (B) and set the following:
- Brush size: 90px
- Hardness: 0%
- Opacity: 50%
- Flow: 100%
- #: 000000
Now you change the brush settings to the following:
- Brush size: 300px
- Hardness: 0%
- Opacity: 100%
- Flow: 100%
- #: 000000
Create a New Layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it to “Whole Roof Shadow” and then paint on the following area:
Your image should be looking like this now:
Now, let’s create accentuate the cloud format ions. Create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above the “Whole Roof Shadow” layer and then name it “Accentuate”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:
- Brush size: 125px
- Hardness: 0%
- Opacity: 50%
- Flow: 100%
- #: 000000
You may paint on any part of the bottom of the clouds, but recommended areas are shown below:
Now, let’s balance the light between the house and the clouds. Let’s darken some areas of the house which less light should be shining. Create a Gradient Adjustment layer.
Once the Gradient Adjustment box is open, click on the drop down menu with the gradients and click on the following gradient:

Awesome! Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Good image, but the instructions could be better.
Thank you, this was good practice, Though I did change some things, such as the shadow beneath the clouds. I made it more of a slow fade together of the house and cloud pictures, looked more cloudlike.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial

"Activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T), take note we don’t have to convert this image to a Smart Object since we only have to resize it once."
WTF? Nothing is more wrong than that
I understand that from the authors point of view but the larger issue here is that he doesn't understand the concept of non-destructing editing. The tutorial is constantly copying and pasting when it should have been imported as smart obj and stenciled with a layer mask. He knows how to use it but purposefully teaches destructing editing. Thus, leading myself to believe that the authors does not grasp the concept of non-destructing editing.
I really hate this tutorial. You start by explaining "non-destructive editing" and then everything is destructive from the 2nd page on.
