I’ll post a video this week.

Step 1: Change the background of the cloth in Photoshop

The first thing we need to do is to change the background.

Grab the Quick Selection Tool from the tool panel or press Shift + W again and again until it comes.

Now drag the tool to select the cloth.

We have made a selection but we’re not sure whether the selection is crisp and sharp. We need to refine it.

Choose Select and Mask in the option bar to make your selection sharper.

Adjust these sliders to refine your selection. Press OK.

Select and Mask is a very big topic in itself and I cannot explain what do these sliders do in this tutorial. If you want to learn what to these sliders do, you can see that in my tutorial on Select and Mask.

Create a layer by pressing Cmd + Shift + N / Ctrl + Shift + N. Name the background and drag it to the bottom.

Click on the foreground color.

Write #eeeeee. This will change the color to light gray. Press OK

Press Opt + Delete / Alt + Backspace to fill the activated layer with the foreground color. Now you have a light gray background.

Step 2: Fix the shape of the cloth in Photoshop

We’re fixing the shape non-destructively.

For this, we need to create a new copy of the t-shirt.

Hold down Cmd and click on the layer mask to select the t-shirt. This will select your t-shirt.

Click on the topmost layer to activate it and press Cmd + J / Ctrl + J to duplicate that.

Grab the Forward Wrap Tool.

Now start pushing the bumps to align the t-shirt.

Deactivate the layer from which we duplicated this layer.

Here’s how your final photo should look like.
