I added a few embellishments to try and get a more realistic look.
Whatever "realistic" is. I've often seen clouds and thought that
they don't look believable.

just a quick try!
Natural clouds as a source.

The grayscale image made bitmap transparent and recolored. I Gelled a couple of layers, and added lighting. The layers were made bitmap transparent again with a paper texture, and placed behind the first image.

As always Rich, some interesting effects.
I was following your method, and got carried away, without paying too much attention to what I was doing; I know it involved a bitmap copy, a texture and a transparency (possibly luminosity). The result looks like the aftermath of an explosion. Original reposted, right.

Bob,
Too much curry, I think.
I was always looking for a way to remove all the blue from the background and leave just the coluds. I converted an image to grayscale and inverted it. Then adjusted the levels to get the background more white. More white with bitmap transparency means more transparent.
Now you can recolor light and dark to change the grayscale to color, and have a transparent background. You can make a bitmap copy, and use a texture for bitmap transparency.

Here's your last posting with a sunset effect.
