Photopea is an amazing free online photo editor that's just like Photoshop! 🥳

In this tutorial I'll show you how to overlay your PNG design onto a t-shirt mockup and then adjust the highlights and shadows to make your mockup look realistic! It's easy and only takes 5 minutes! 😄

NOTES:
Top Layer Adjustments:

1. On the top layer change the blending mode to "Hard Light".

2. Right-click on the top layer then scroll down and select "Clipping Mask".

3. Go to: -Image -Adjustments -Hue & Saturation
Move the saturation slider all the way to the left to desaturate the image.

4. Go to: -Image -Adjustments -Curves
Adjust the curve to change the highlights and shadows. Bring the line up on the bottom left corner. (This step will vary depending on if you're using a dark or light colored t-shirt.)

The font that I used for the t-shirt design is "Stay Trendy" by KA Font Designs on Etsy.
(I added a "Wave" effect to the text.)
