You can do this effect in 1 step in Inkscape. Just trace the bear silhouette, upscale the mountain image (I use topaz), put the silhouette on top of the mountain where you want it, select both and use clip > set clip. Comes out much cleaner and you don't have to do all the extra manipulation.
@@rhranjithkumar I have no doubt. I've seen Inkscape in action in the Chandwell channel and it's very powerful. But you can't say "here's how to do it in 1 step" and then list five steps 😂
Good tutorial Philip... one tip though.. at 08:30 you explain how to add the graphic. Better option is to keep the graphic on top, make the graphic a clipping mask, that masked into the Bear Sillhouette... This way is less destructive ;)
I don't understand the purpose of the vectorizing step if you're going to rasterize the layer in photoshop right after. Do you use the vector files for other products?
@@PhilipAnders Finally got around to it, v pleased with the results but I need to rework the background image to be taller. Thank you for the detailed video 🙂
I would buy that T-shirt. Great work. It's different when you learn from people who are also practicing what they preach. So many POD YTers are not practicing and only preaching. I've unsubd all of them.
Good vid but what's the point of vectorizing the images only to rasterize them in Photoshop? If it ends up as pixels anywaty as opposed to vectors why not just upscale the original images before composting in PS? Am I missing something?
I prefer vectorizing over upscaling when it comes to this sort of flat 2d digital art. The only point of vectorizing is increasing quality. You can of course use an upscaler instead as well
Hi Philip, another amazing tutorial! Just curious, why did you vectorize the images if you were working in Photoshop? Is vectorizing better than using upscaling software when you want to enlarge a Mid Journey graphic?
Very nice. I like the explanation on how to clean up the edges of the bear. Question: What settings do MyDesigns use from Vectorizer? (Not that you'd know offhand).
Thank you glad you liked it! I do actually know which settings they use, as I made the recommendation :D Everything is default except: shape stacking "Stack shapes on top of each other" and Gap Filler has "Clip overflow" turned on. At least that's what I told them to adapt and I think they did
@@PhilipAnders Thanks. MyDesigns is great for vectorizing and getting images ready for 4500x5400 pixel in Canvas. Maxing out at 2G free made me have to work and delete a few times because I'd had a backlog I thought I should just do. If I get to a level where I can get more value from MyDesigns I'll become a paid user. It's great that they offer this unpaid foot in the door. It lets potential paid users learn and NOT forget about them.
i just sub'd. I have one question, why does vectorizing make a better printable image? other than trying to get rid of the background without tracing a mask or using ai to grab the main subject of a image. I've done this kind of stuff in the past but I feel like things have changed in the last couple of years. usually I edit with rawtherepee or photopea and export with 16 bit PNG to print on DTG printing. looks decent enough but if there's a more effective way i'd be more than interested to learn a better process.
Thank you for the sub! Midjourney images are 1000 pixels which doesn't print well on shirts. Vectorizing is the easiest way imo to increase print quality quickly and effectively
Vectorizing, then rasterizing, then removing the "white glow" produced by rasterizing... I mean, even if you don't want to use AI or Inkscape, you can still just edit the SVG in a text editor, right? If you need a white silhouette on a black background to use as a mask, search and replace: #000000 with something random, #ffffff to #000000, then something random to #ffffff. If you want to remove the white background, replace "#ffffff" with "none", or "transparent", or nothing, or add "fill-opacity" = 0, whatever PS understands.
There's always various different ways to get to the same end result. The vector serves as a vessel to improve quality here as the original file is so small. That's the main point of the action. I personally use Illustrator a lot but some people also like seeing Photoshop tutorials
@@PhilipAnders I understand that people prefer to stick to what they know rather than spend time (which they do not necessarily have) to learn something else... But it is still a bit weird 😜
because ai generated images are low resolution. Vectors are infinitely scalable to any resolution. That's why we can use them in this case to massively increase the quality

Great video! I am loving your midjourney prompt videos and adobe tutorials
Glad you like them! Thank you very much & thanks for watching :)
This was fantastic!!! Thank you so much for the clear Photoshop steps--well all the step-by-step instructions. Very appreciated!

That's five steps.
@@AmenMoto yeah... but it's much easier in inkscape

Nice one! I've been using Inkscape for years and love it, but I learn something new every time. 👍🏼😉
This is like double exposure made easy.
Great job
Dude thank you. I was struggling with other videos creating layer masks for a project and boom. Here we are. Thank you thank you!
Good tutorial Philip... one tip though.. at 08:30 you explain how to add the graphic. Better option is to keep the graphic on top,
make the graphic a clipping mask, that masked into the Bear Sillhouette... This way is less destructive ;)
Thanks for the tip! :) I sometimes forget about the clipping mask option
...was just about to say the same thing 🙂
I love your hoodie, great color! Also, thank you so much for great contents :)
Plz make one for leonardo
Wow that's amazing channel practice guys, not only bla bla like others, thank you so much for helping people i appreciate that🙏
Happy to help! Thanks for the kind comment :)
Hella awesome
So upscaling the picture after creating it in Midjourney will not give as good as a result as vectorizing it?
It would as the vectors are taken into PS and re- rasterized in this vid. I think it is an unnecessary step.
Looks amazing 🙂
Thank-you Philip! 🙏🏻🤗
You are very welcome!
Love the design. Thanks for the tutorial.
You’re welcome 😊
Great tutorial of this type of design. Thank you. 😎❤️
You’re welcome 😊
@@PhilipAnders Miss seeing Milo. Hope he is all good. ❤️

I don't understand the purpose of the vectorizing step if you're going to rasterize the layer in photoshop right after. Do you use the vector files for other products?
Good question! Midjourney images are 1000 pixels. My tshirt design is 5000 pixels. Without the vector step in between it would look horrible😉
I guess you could also use a pixel upscaler, like GigaPixel.@@PhilipAnders
Another incredible tutorial. Cheers Sir
My pleasure!
Great video! The mask-refining steps you go through at 7:39 are fantastic. I'm totally going to use that technique. Another great tutorial, Philip!
Perfect glad you could learn something new :)
hi, very nice and informative video great job.
Is there a size recommendation for Midjourney for a shirt if I don't need to edit the photo with text, etc?
Please can you make video like this one in illustrator too 🙏
Excellent tutorial, going to try that right now :-)
Thanks & Have fun!
@@PhilipAnders Finally got around to it, v pleased with the results but I need to rework the background image to be taller. Thank you for the detailed video 🙂
Great video. Can you please tell me is it really necessary to vectorise if upskelling is already available in midjorney
Hi
Which font was used on the thumbnail of the video?
Can we Do this un Adobe illustrator?
Are the steps the same in illustrator ?
thank u,,,sir love from bangladesh
I would buy that T-shirt. Great work. It's different when you learn from people who are also practicing what they preach. So many POD YTers are not practicing and only preaching. I've unsubd all of them.

thanks a lot, any kind of issues using this on MBA?
Can this be done on Canva?

How to upscale from standard 1024 midjourney to merch required 4500?
Excellent.
Many thanks!
Would you please add these designs in your store so I can buy them and print them?
Hi Philip, another amazing tutorial! Just curious, why did you vectorize the images if you were working in Photoshop? Is vectorizing better than using upscaling software when you want to enlarge a Mid Journey graphic?
vectorizing has a different aesthetic to upscaling. And for these sorts of graphics I prefer to vectorize. But either option works
Very nice. I like the explanation on how to clean up the edges of the bear.

can i use minoria font without pay
You can get it with the free trial yeah
Do you use midjourney image for merch by amazon ?Any copyright issue ?
if you are a paid midjourney member and you don't generate branded/movie content then there's no issue. And yes I use them for MBA
I have a paid account but no private mode enabled.If I delete my midjourney content after downloading,will I face any issues ?@@PhilipAnders

You can't create the entire design like this with Ai only

@@helenaspljushka9571 in the end the customer doesn't care how the design was made as long as it looks good quality
Does anyone know why vetroizing it before will make the tshirt come out better?
because ai generated images are low resolution. Vectors are infinitely scalable to any resolution. That's why we can use them in this case to massively increase the quality
Vectorized is not free
Which MJ add on are you using?

the "vectorizing" u do at the beginning is unnecessary, doing the Refine gets rid of the rough edges. probably getting some coins from that site..
Might seem that way yeah, but try printing a raw midjourney image on a tshirt without vectorizing or upscaling and you will be very disappointed
