STEP 1/4
Import a graphic.
Place your own graphic (File > Place Embedded), or click the small box next to the Boogie Graphic layer to use the one in the practice file.
Right-click on the graphic layer and choose Convert to Smart Object. This will allow you to warp it in the next step.
STEP 2/4
Fit the folds.
Choose Edit > Transform > Warp and drag the handles to adjust the graphic to match the movement of the tee. Change the layer Opacity to blend it with the texture of the fabric.
STEP 3/4
Make it look real.
Click the Layer Mask icon to add a mask to the graphic layer. With the mask thumbnail selected, choose a soft round black brush with a low opacity. Then brush along the shirt’s movement to create a realistic lighting effect.
Pro tip: Use the [ ] keys on your keyboard to adjust the brush size as you work.
STEP 4/4
Swap backgrounds.
In the Backgrounds layer group, double-click the color swatch to experiment with different colors. Or try new textures by turning on and off other background layers.
