Help for putting a design on this T-shirt Mockup PSD file

[rich2005]

Quote:... But I need to put a design into this ready layered psd file for purpose of learning too.

You really need to use Gimp, manipulating simple images before getting involved with more complex projects, however:

These PS templates seldom work 100% and this one is no different.

1. Expand the layer groups and turn off the copyright layer visibility.
2. The highlights layer is in a non-compatible mode for Gimp, turn visibility off.
3. The 'sample' logo is in 'Change this' Get rid of it. Easiest way is use the eraser tool with a large brush size. Note this layer is only 860 x 860 pix That is the size for your mockup logo.
4. The black 'Change T-shirt color' layer is not suitable for your logo, bucket fill with white. Note the bucket fill tool option BG color fill.

6. Lost 5 somewhere Your 5000 x 5000 logo is too large for the mock up. Work on a copy and scale down to 860 x 860 Image -> Scale Image
7. With the 'Change this layer'  active paste the copied logo in. Edit -> Paste
8. Anchor the resulting 'Floating' temporary layer into the 'Change This' layer
9. Gives this which might be ok for your purposes.

10. The mockup can sometimes be improved by giving the logo the effect of following the folds in the cloth. Use Filters -> Map -> Displace
see:  https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-filter-displace.html  Use the shadows layer as the map and slightly adjust the Vertical displacement.
11. Different colours ? Fill the relevent layer to suit.

Edit: Important Gimp 2.10.20 (maybe .22) psd file handling is a bit buggy. Save your work as Gimp .xcf file.
