Using the Mock-up Files
The York Photo Mock-ups are available to you as Photoshop (.psd) files for you to customize and add your own image. The images below are jpeg samples. To download the Photoshop (.psd) files please follow the link below:
- After you have opened the Photoshop file, double-click on your Smart Object Thumbnail in the layers panel. If you simply double click on the layer itself, this will not work. You must click on the image icon next to the layer name. Once that is done, you will see a new screen pop up that appears to be the same shape as your Smart Object.
- Open your product image in Photoshop (FILE > OPEN). Now, drag and drop your new image into this screen using the “Move” tool. Resize the image to fill the screen (EDIT > TRANSFORM). Now, click SAVE and close the window. Make sure you do not close all your Photoshop windows because we still need our original background image! Pro Tip: If you hold down shift, it will drop the new image directly into the centre of the Smart Object.
- When you return to your original background image, your new image would be already magically inserted and adjusted in your original background image!
- At this point, you may be able to leave your mockup as-is, but there are a few tricks you can use to make it even more realistic:
- If the screen is too bright, try reducing the opacity on your Smart Object layer to darken things up. Select the desired layer, then click the Opacity drop-down arrow at the top of the Layers panel. Click and drag the slider to adjust the opacity.
- Play around with Burn, Multiply and the other image options in the layers panel if you would like to further touch-up your image.
