: How to a make a cloud from an outline and blend it into a photo of a skyline I'm trying to take an outline and blend it in as a cloud in a photo I took. I've tried rendering clouds within

@Cofer715

YOu could try:

Select the black of the FSM , then hide the fsm layer.

Keep the selection active, make a new layer and add a layer mask. The mask should now look like the selection (check the thumbnail of the layer mask). Deselect.

Click on the thumbnail of the blank layer so that the thumbnail is highlighted rather than the layer mask.

Use the clone tool with a large-ish radius and clone portions of the clouds, painting them onto the blank layer which you attached the layer mask to.

You should only see the cloned portions appear where the black lines of the FSM would be. If not, then click on the layer mask to give it focus and then the mac equivalent of shift+ctrl+i. (this should invert the mask).
