Great info! But from a garment construction perspective, the sleeve is a separate piece that is inserted into an opening. The fabric is not one continuous design overlay as you have it. Is there a way to separate the sleeve as well but then fill it with the leaf pattern (but shifted) so the pattern doesn’t match at the seam. The same could be done with collar and pockets. The shirt would be much more realistic to the trained eye. Hope this helps.
^ Agree. In most off-the-rack clothing, collars, pockets and collars rarely match up with the pattern of the torso. A better option might be to have these as all separate layers, with the patterns slightly misaligned.
Very good point that I did not think of. In that case you could just apply multiple pattern sections by doing the same steps, but with separate selections and patterns for the sleeves, pockets, collar, etc.
Thank you for this detailed tutorial and especially for the cheat sheet! I consider myself intermediate in Photoshop for photo editing. But I do make patterns in Photoshop for my sideline, online clothing line. For me, your process seems very complex - certainly not something I can quickly understand and just sit down to the computer and do it. Also, the process did not really address the issue of the lapels, collars, and pockets. Most clothing designs use the same pattern all over and, as you pointed out, your process doesn't handle that well. I assume you'd have to handle each of those areas separately, making it an even more involved, complex process. Finally, I rarely have an all-white version of my clothing pieces to start with. I don't know if it is even possible, but I'd love to know how to apply a new pattern over an existing pattern and still be able to retain the folds, shadows, and highlights of the fabric. Anyway, I will play around with it and I'm sure it will come in handy for my marketing materials.
Hi Sir! I really enjoy your tutorials about Photoshop. I always watch them. They are easy to understand and follow. I would like to request if you could create a tutorial video on the best techniques for halftones using Photoshop, focusing on achieving a clean and detailed result for printing on t-shirts. I'm just hoping you might consider this. Thank you! :) from Phil.
Love this video. Some great tips and techniques. One question - for the warping, why not try a displacement map? You already have a nice white and black shirt with the folds, etc.? Although, i suppose the Warp technique gives you more control. . .but overall, really nice.
Yes, I prefer this for this type of situation so it's easier to choose the underlying color while blending. You can create a transparent pattern by cutting out any pattern you already have, and saving a new pattern preset for it.

Interesting - have downloaded the pdf and cant wait to try!
Wow Brendan. Great video and very usefu info... will try it out. :)

I can add it to my list, but I do have quite a long backlog of ideas to create first.

You definitely could use one! I honestly have no specific reason why I didn't use one... besides the fact I find warping faster personally.
was the pattern you used transparent?
