How Do I make realistic clouds?

How do I make realistic Clouds? For landscape images etc...

[Simon Brown]

Try Effects -> Render -> Clouds

Or, if you actually want real looking clouds, you'll have to download the Custom Brushes plugin, which also has the information you'll need to use Photoshop Cloud brushes (you'll need to download some brushes too - deviantART has some excellent ones )

when I want to make more realistic clouds, I still rely on using the Clouds plugin (not the one found under Effects>Render>Clouds)

it has lots of different options to set for it.

When you render clouds, Its a good thing to stretch it as well, that also gives a more realistic feel aswell.

I was going to ask for real clouds... Then I looked here, this doesnt help. I made realistic- ish clouds but I tottly forgot how to make them again... Heres what they looked like... if you have any help on how I can make them... please tell me. I didn't use the cloud effect at all, so I got sorta clueless.

I guess you forgot the necroposting rule.

( Or didn't notice the date, more likely.)

And did you mean to post an example image?

When I want realistic clouds, I do a GIS for 'clouds', then copy-and-paste them into my creation.
