How to create this awesome clouds effect?

Hi all,

Im trying to find out a way to colour these clouds but im just getting close. still something is missing.

I tried with gradient map and it seems that it just not enough.
Im looking to get the exact effect. if you have any idea about the effect or maybe take a shot at this one, it’ll be awesome

Thanks!

I suspect it might be a combination of multiple images with Blend-settimgs or Masks.

Thanks! I actually tried this technique but couldn't get the edges smooth enough.

On can split the Blend if-handles by alt-clicking them.

Hello  tomh3490074, I just put your picture into my Photoshop and added one other thing, I selected the mixer brush tool, set the tip to Kyle spatter pattern and set the foreground color for a spot I want to work in the cloud. Adjust the size of the paint pattern by tip size.

With these tools, you can carefully run the brush  - at low % and low high saturation and just smooth and blur over the hard edges of your clouds. See the magic. Change colors with the cloud color needed. Practice makes - - - Regards, JH
