Thanks pure great being here and see new graphics from others and the tut.

that is surprisingly easy for something that looks so difficult!

Here's what I came up with:

Already knew it!
Anywat it is not Different Clouds...
see bold text
Its Difference Clouds!
Difference clouds actually renders two layers. one of normal clouds(using your background and foreground colors) and 2nd the one u created it from
then it merges them ny first using a blending mode of difference and then msimple merge!
I hope tht ws usefull!

Great, easy and stunning tutorial. But I have a question. How do you guys discover such easy and good things to do in photoshop. Is something wrong with my brain??!! I mean I know the instructions in this tutorial very well and I use them a lot. But how you get these ideas!!

Is there a way in developing this skill?

Edit:
This what I achieved, thanks for this awesome tutorial.



This is how my layers pallete looks like:



I did just as the tutorial said, then I put a red background underneath the Electric layer and set the electric layer blending mode to multiply.

I made a background out of mine (1280x1024) and i used 2 layers instead i did exactly the same to both layers except for the fact that i used different colors and on the second layer i used overlay instead.
