Is there a way to algorithmically create (no painting or brushes) Nebulae / Wispy Clouds effects in Photoshop. Random clouds and Difference Clouds filters can certainly create interesting patterns, but they are miles away from authentically looking clouds or nebulae. On the other hand several fractal generators can do the trick - and XenoDream and Apohysis in particular can create photo-realistic nebulae and clouds, but doing it straight in Photoshop would be a good skill to have. Any ideas?

This is only using images of clouds but Alien skin did an old plug in called xerofex or something inside that it had an extension called pink fluffy clouds a good cloud generator. there is a good tutorial that lynda.com do using only photoshop but you will need to be a member to see it or they may have put it on there youtube channel. It is an amazing yet simple effect. will try and dig it out later for you the name of it.
