    Hey Anmar – you know I can’t remember the name, but the band is Nana Grizol – a completely awesome band. You won’t be disappointed if you pick up their CD “Love it Love it”

    Hey Adam, Excellent tutorial.

    The only problem I seem to have is.. well there are two I can think of.

    1. When I select Multiply as my blending option, it sometimes changes the color of my design.

    And

    2. After you place the mask on the design, it looks like you can move the design only within the boundries of the shirt.. how do you get it to do that?

    Is this just for Fronts or does the pack include backs?

    Chris: I can’t help you with #1, but #2 can be done if, after making the mask on the design layer, you click off the linked chain that is between the thumb of the layer and the thumb of the mask in the layers pallet. Then click on the layer thumb (not the mask thumb) and you can move the layer around within the layer mask. If you click on the mask thumb you will move the mask around and not the layer.

    I am having trouble changing the color of the shirts. I would like to make the lite blue into a dark blue via Hue/Saturation but I can't seem to change it. Any tips?

    One more question… how do I get an image behind the shirt? I want to display it on a background.

    The mask on the design layer, you click off the linked chain that is between the thumb of the layer and the thumb of the mask in the layers pallet. Then click on the layer thumb (not the mask thumb) and you can move the layer around within the layer mask.

    Everytime I try to do this after I'm almost done the hand tool pops up on my screen and controls all the options and doesn't let me do anything. How do I get it to leave its like the evil hand tool of doom.

    When I open the .psd file for the blue shirt, it doesn't show the layers like yours is set up. It doesn't allow me to move the mask from the mask layer to the art layer. The mask layer says “Art Clipping Mask” And shows it as locked. Why is this not working like the tutorials are showing it as? I have to control click the mask and inverse the selection to delete it in order for it to hide my design under the folds. However, when I do that I can't move my design around on the template to test different positions because it's been deleted and some of it is missing. Help :(

    I figured it out nevermind :D I had accidentally removed the clipping mask from my artwork layer and that layer ended up under the art clipping mask layer so it wasn't working. Thanks anyway and thanks for such amazing templates!!
