How To Use Mockup Templates with Photoshop

Mockup templates are widely available for download throughout the internet, and they’re a great way to demonstrate how your designs look in a real world context. I use them quite often myself, and in this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can do the same. To edit mockups with Photoshop, all you have to do is open the Smart Object layer and place your own design where the placeholder design is. This is something that does not require design skills or a comprehensive understanding of Photoshop. You can follow along with this lesson even if you’re new to Photoshop, and even if you don’t have Photoshop (more on that later!)
A great website for free mockup templates would be Graphic Burger: graphicburger.com/mock-ups/
If you don't have Photoshop, you can use mockup templates WITHOUT Photoshop using this tutorial: • How To Use PSD Mockups...

I never knew there IS a tutorial that is easy to understand and inspirational at the same time. Thank you for this😌👍🏻

[@debbY100]

Love that you're using a letterpress printed example! I had no idea that was available. I'm a letterpress printer and designer, and this would be so useful to use for client design work!

duuude, i found the coolest mockup ever for a project but i couldn't figure out how to use it... you saved me from another breakdown !!! i can finally stop postponing my project haha

[@lainiemagsarili5207]

First, thank you-- this was awesome. Clear and concise! I produce bespoke outerwear. What is the best way to keep accurate track of the scale of a print when placing on a garment so it is an accurate representation? I usually screen cap potential fabric purchases and want to place it on a mock up so see how it reads. The scale part has me scratching my head since I don't have original files of these fabric images. Hope this makes sense
