    We can go back by pressing "Ctrl" and "Z"
    .
    This is "step backward" or "undo". We'll be taken back to our original image. What the "Clouds" option does: it takes the general colors of the image and combines them into a cloud texture.

    If our image is not so dramatic as the one in the video, then we could hold down "Alt" (PC) or "Option" (Mac) button while selecting "Clouds"
    .
    This would create a more dramatic effect.
