  <body>I&amp;#8217;ve noticed a lot of t-shirt blanks for photoshop comps and I was wondering if anybody has a source of those blanks. Do you photo shoot them yourself or get&amp;#8217;em from other brands? Then hit it up with the clone tool hehe.

      <body>Reilly &amp;#8211; those are straight class.

	on a related note, it&amp;#8217;s always really annoying when people use the same American Apparel model shots for their shirt mock-ups &amp;#8211; ummm, let&amp;#8217;s see, Asian girl with big glasses, and skinny dude with a beard and hands in his pockets. Maybe there&amp;#8217;s like one other one people use a lot.

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

	Grab yourself a white shirt, and take 20 pictures of it.

	The one with the best shadows wins.

	It might be a pain in the ass, but ultimately, you know you worked for it and nobody else can say you stole their blank. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

	Taking photos is probably the west way to go about it.

	I&amp;#8217;ve noticed that a lot of shirt comps might be using these abercrombie and fitch shirts for comp purposes&amp;#8212;http://downtownrivals.com/content/design/cori_shirt2.jpg you&amp;#8217;ll notice it in the label.

	I think it&amp;#8217;d be cool too if AA or those other blank companies would provide hi-resolution images for comp purposes. Just as another way to promote their shirts you know.

      <body>Here&amp;#8217;s how I change the color of the shirt. There&amp;#8217;s probably some better way that I haven&amp;#8217;t taken the time to learn though.
&lt;img src="http://reillystroope.com/yh/colorchange.jpg"&gt;

	1. Origional

	2. Vector mask

	3. Desaturated copy of the shirt.

	4. Layers from top to bottom: Desaturated shirt, Vector mask, Origional.

	Does that make any sense?

	You can experiment with the sliders on the right as well especially for lighter colored shirts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

when i do this it gets all choppy looking... </body>

      <body>use overlay-softlight, etc layer settings, depending on the mock up's color and the colors of the design. that's the fastest blending. 
also, i use the color overlay or the ctr+u for color changes. mess with the settings until you are happy. beware of saturation:)
AND THIS IS WHY EMPTEES WANTS TO HAVE A RESOURCES SECTION! BRING IT!</body>

      <body>I just take the white shirt layer, copy it, desaturate it and set it to multiply and then make that the topmost layer.  Then just make sure your art is under that layer and above the shirt layer.  Then just use color overlay for the shirt color.</body>

New layer, add in the color you want it to be. Set the layer on lighten or screen, probably. May have to play with the opacity. I imagine that'd do the trick.</body>
