Hans, the talent is not mine, rather picture editors, this in The Times, UK, 16DEC2017

(Was it my imagination or did the copy and paste here only work with ‘Text’ above?).
Somewhat unfortunate phrase, Hans? I don’t see any mamma in your picture or Michael’s Monsooner #12. But as a confessed Cu fan I think they are both towering photos. Thanks, both.
Wonderful. I never did understand the condescending comment of someone (‘not another sunset’) before I joined CAS.
Do we get more sunsets than sunrises?
Curious – I replied twice to this at 11.18 and 11.21 pm. Both are in the topic, but there is only one index entry.
And that looks like George’s castellanus. though it could be downwind, I suppose. With a lens close to George’s too.
Me too, Hans.
A picture of this bridge appeared in The Tmes, UK, 1DEC2017, captioned ”Sunset illuminates the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in Beijing’s Summer Palace. Careful calculations when it was built in the 18th century ensure every span catches the light around the winter solstice.’
The eclectic side of Alec, but not a great title for the topic which you have generalised.
N.B. CAS have not chosen to use ‘thread’, but post or topic – see index.
I am particularly in favour of a Colour topic, long in my mind, but lacking the skills to dare instigate it. In fact I had noted last Thursday’s Cloud as yellowish. I am the proud possessor of ‘The Elements of Color’ based on Johannes Itten’s ‘The Art of Colour’ which is probably why I hung back. But yes, go, go, go.

Your title is not a good start. Those inverted commas threw me. I guess ‘shop is an abbreviation for Photoshop, so putting in ‘Photoshop’ is redundant (and ambiguous).
As a mere auto snapper who has never used Photoshop the question does not arise.
Goodness gracious me, Robyn, you have opened my eyes (from which you will gather I have little to offer you, but wish you all the best).
I wonder about the term ‘archaeology of clouds’ and am surprised it has been accepted. Archaeology I think of as historical discovery – any historical cloud, as a dynamic transient entity, could only be discovered indirectly by some reference. So I would have thought something like ‘The historical impact of clouds on mankind’.
I had to google post-medieval and was surprised there exists a Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. Would you care to hazard a date for the end of the period (which may be quite early) since you seem more interested in going back than forward?
The ‘mare’s tails’ doggerel has many variations in contemporary cloud literature.

I can offer a climate change theme tune from my favourite Stan Kenton – Eager Beaver
