It's my understanding that a lot of things like that don't work on 8bit images. Try it on a 16 bit new image and see if that helps.
This is very strange, I try to do the Diffuse clouds effect in the render menu, and it's not there! I have just got Photoshop CS6 for Christmas and than this happens. Example. The image is 8bit/RBG, I tried re-installing Photoshop but that didn't work. If anybody knows the fix, please help me out. If you need more information please ask. PS. I'm on CS6 ver. 13.0.1

Try Filter Render Clouds, then Filter Stylize Diffuse .... does that do what you want to do?
In your Plug-ins directory, there should be a file Coulds.8bf (assuming Windows). There is also featureSearch.xml that hooks up the plugin files with the user interface, if I understand correctly.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/223119?tstart=0 suggests that the German version of Photoshop had some problems; if you're using a non-English localized version, it may also have problems.
Hey chick, the problem is neither of the cloud functions are there.

hey waldronate, I used the search function and there were no items that matched Clouds.8bf, but I did find the featuresearch.xml, would it be possible to give me a copy of the clouds.8bf file? mabye that will work.
Try one more thing.... in the top right corner of your screen, where you have "Essentials" selected. Try selecting some of the other choices and see if any of them makes the Clouds show up.
I tried all of the choices but it still didn't show up. thanks for the suggestion though.
