Creating realistic clouds

After following the next tutorial, you will know how to create realistic clouds. Photoshop has a filter you can use to create clouds, the cloud filter. This tool can be useful if you want to generate few fuzzy looking clouds. If you want to create clouds which look very realistic, you have to go deeper.
