How To Create Custom Mockups for MyDesigns in Photoshop or Photopea

[@mydesignsio]

Hello Creators, You can find and download the resources I used in this video to follow along over in our community. Here's a link: community.mydesigns.io/c/video-training/how-to-create-custom-mockups-for-mydesigns

[@FreshArtsy]

so it MUST BE 5:6 ratio, for MYDesign to work right? not just this particular example

[@CurtisBlackmore]

@@FreshArtsy you can set it up however you like, for clothing - we recommend a 5:6 aspect ratio for the print area.

[@FreshArtsy]

@@CurtisBlackmore omg u are amazing, but u should include an toggle when publish to automatic renew listing or manual, not a big deal. Since I have to go into draft to publish anyway -.- Another thing is the platform is amazing, but it looks hella intimidating to someone new. once u use it, 5min is all u need. and esty's seller to buyer ratio is way better. but chatGPT trained ppl to just want everything to be done and looks intuitive and simple. (mydesign is simple, it just seems intimidating at first) This is one factor why it is growing slowly than it should.

[@TheChromePoet]

does this work for PSD mockup of a blanket that has creases and folds??

[@CurtisBlackmore]

@@TheChromePoet yes, it works for basically any type of mockup you can do in Photoshop with a smart object which is basically anything. Blankets, ect. will work perfectly if you set it up according to our guidelines. :)

[@FreshArtsy]

omg you guys have no idea how great this is. creating mock up with my own mockup images is the final stage of pain-in-my-ass time that I have to spend... everything else is done through a combination of script, gpt, and mydesigns. oh and creating the digital product themselves -_-

[@mydesignsio]

Great to hear! Our custom mockups system supports a lot more than mockups too FYI.

[@CurtisBlackmore]

Our custom mockups feature is ridiculously powerful. I hope you're finding it useful 🙌

[@paigek720]

Thanks for this video! LOVING MyDesigns, you've thought of everything!

[@CurtisBlackmore]

It's getting better every week. 😃

[@SvanhildrG]

Do you have an updated version of this video?

[@lh9933]

This is the exact info i needed. I already have my own mockups but want to use them in mydesigns. Thanks so much!

[@lschiz-photography1765]

Hello Curtis Oh my such an incredible tool!! I bought into this w you a couple of months ago and learning something new every week. Thank you so much for your training here and all you offer. Question re mockups and PS file setup. For a mock up image of wall art w 2 or 3 diff images same size sets, am I able to do three place holder layers with three images? Are the place holders you mentioned unique to your software, does your place holder have to be used? Can I create a layer name it my-design and that layer will be seen by my design to insert the mock up Images? And What do I name the layers to place two or three images in the photo shop file that will hold the mock up image of two or three empty picture frames on a wall? Hope you see this. It’s been a year but still a great help and another great feature/tool. Thank you!!!

[@afenton32]

Thanks for sharing. This is helpful!

[@pratikpatel3453]

Thanks for this video. It really big help

[@laurachevrette8060]

Hi Curtis, thank you for making this! I am struggling to find a copy of the aspect ratio md-design.png you show in this video anywhere on MyDesigns website. Is there a link or place to find this? Thanks!

[@lisafromnewyork]

Can you do this for the 20oz tumblers too?

[@marys.5050]

Hi Curtis, I'm working on creating some custom mockups now. I realize I may not be able to use many of the ones I own because the photos are vertical vs horizontal. They are some of my favorite mockups! I'm wondering if given the size of 4500 x 5400, if I can put a vertical photo on there sideways and then turn it right side up in MD. Is that an option?

[@peztrader]

Creating the mockup on Photopea and the file size is too big. Any tips on how to reduce the file size

[@jayjayf9699]

Let’s say I want to create a tumbler wrap mock up which has a three tumbler split with a curve layout how do I split the image into three tumblers ?

[@tenzystudio]

I'm having the same problem as peztrader. In photopea the output PSD is too large to be used in MyDesign. How do we reduce the PSD file size enough to import it into MyDesign?

[@tinasunshine777]

Hello. It is saying “mockup must be smaller then 3000x 3000px . When I go to upload my mockup to mydesigns. How can I fix this? :)

[@marys.5050]

In the video you refer to making a "displacement" vs changing the opacity. Can you please share what that is or how to do it, for higher quality mockups, or share the video where you teach that. Thank you .

[@SvanhildrG]

Where can I get that placeholder?

[@AdrianJensen]

It would be super dope if we could also do the one video etsy allows with an after effects file.

[@CurtisBlackmore]

That's a great idea. Videos are a lot harder to work with, but we are working on video mockups functionality, and released our video mockups generator a few weeks ago, but it's very basic transitional effects between mockups at the moment.

[@jofuryeyes4737]

I try to do this but for 11oz white mug, it doesn't seem to work the same way.

[@haleyross2255]

How do you add the ability to colorize the shirt?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

There are various guides here on KZbin on how to set it up, it's a bit more advanced, but once you learn how to do it, it's not too difficult.

[@SoyRodrigoFlores]

I can't directly upload the mockups that I download from freepik because it won't let me

[@shashykfit]

i dont know if i understand, it only works if i put the my design logo on it ? if i have my mockup from etsy palin it dont work ?

[@shashykfit]

*plain

[@UndefinedPrintGaming]

this didnt work for me at all. i followed the steps and when i places the design on wanted in the smart object layer and went back to the mockup, it didnt sync. i dont see the design on the mockup image. Any suggestions?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

This video is a bit outdated, but the process still works. Did you add a blank image inside the smart object layer covering the entire area? That's the image MyDesigns replaces with your image and it's required.

[@Ziplinz]

The placeholder image download isn't working for me.

[@CurtisBlackmore]

Click on the image to open it then click the download button (top left of the image). Just tested, working fine.

[@Ziplinz]

@@CurtisBlackmore Yeah, I figured it out. I was thinking it was a separate file at first. Thanks for the response though. My custom mock-ups came out looking good.

[@cupidscut3258]

Hey I'm wondering if this placeholder will work for wall art mockups? @@CurtisBlackmore

[@Zolipants]

how you adjust the design on the mockup??

[@mydesignsio]

The design on your mockup completely depends on the "design file" that you're using to create your mockup. However that design file is setup is where it will appear on the mockup.
