Landscape Clouds Ghosting

Hello everyone I would be grateful for some advice. I am predominantly a landscape photographer and have used Helicon for several scenes where I require optimum focus from near to far. The image here is fine apart from the clouds where, what I presume is ghosting due to the movement of the clouds is present I have tried all three Methods and find that A is the best in terms of smoothing, however its still not very good. I may be hoping for something that is not possible with Helicon and that all subjects must be static - any advice would be helpful.
Thank you Peter

There are 2 ways of solving this problem;
1; From your Stack, select an Image containing the Clouds and using the " Retouching Tool ( Top Ctr. ) paint out the " ghosting.
2. Save your Stacked Image, import it into Photoshop, select, an Image with Clouds used in the Stack and combine it with the Stacked image.
Either of these are pretty quick fixes. Here's a Link to a Photoshop Tutorial on " Replacing Skies " on You Tube.
