Have a slight problem.... I'd like to add clouds to an existing photo but I want them behind the main object. I think you can do this with layers but I don't know how to go about it. A little help,please.

Hi Chas, open your photos you are using. Drag your main image to the cloud layer so it is the top layer. Use a layer mask and paint out the area of the main image that you want the clouds to show through. If you are not comfortable with layer mask you can always use the eraser tool and erase the area to let the clouds show through. Hope this helps.

Thanks Kim. I'll give it a try. I'm trying to make a composition for tomorrow's Make Art Monday.
