Seems simple enough. Just copy your design, paste to photo, position, size and print. God Bless.

 

Import your photo into Coreldraw, position and size your artwork on top of the photo, then export back to a .jpg if you'll be using the photo for the web.

It won't look super realistic. Photoshop is a better program for realistic looking mockups.

 

Ok, have done that. The problem I now have is the photo with the design on it is yellow. How do I isolate the design and remove the yellow background so I can just superimpose the design on the plain black tshirt. I've tried looking in the corel help page but can't seem to find answers, maybe I'm not using the right terminology!

 

Check out Advanced Artist Design Base. It has some great comps you can use to accomplish this. Tm's stuff is awesome

 

Select the image,
Go to Bitmaps at the top,
click on Bitmap Color Mask,
On the right, select the eye dropper,
click on the color you want to remove,
Click Apply.

 

Tried that ole Jobe, but the design I'm trying to isolate is off a photo of another tshirt, so with all the different textures and shadows on the tshirt it's more than one colour. If I can't isolate it by doing a uniform fill would I have to draw round the design to get it? If that makes sense?

 

That's not the most efficient way to do it. Where is the original design? Who owns it? You're trying to work with two raster .jpg photos in a vector program. Coreldraw is not the best program to handle it. Corel Photo-paint may be a better option.

 

There are certain ways to do this. You can do a search for photo shop tattoos and if you want to show a t shirt design you have no need of wrinkling of the design in the image.

 

Photoshop is really the best way... don't have photoshop? One picture send it to me and I will do it for you free... explain exact how you want it to look.. I don't use corel enough to help you but sounds like you are getting some great advice. Thing with photoshop is you can bend it, twist it, fade it into shirt and really make it look like it is printed on shirt.. there are also some online sites where you can do it yourself.. search around a little

I have the original design as an EPS and as a Jpeg already on a tshirt. I thought it would be easier to just work with the Jpegs, as i tried to place the EPS over the Jpeg but it wasn't happening. The only reason I was working with Corel is because that's what came with my GCC cutter, and I've mainly only used it with text. I do have Photoshop but I'm even more clueless about that, although I've more friends who use it who can help.

 

In Corel it's easier to work with the EPS, which is a vector format. Import your EPS, then import your blank shirt jpg. You should be able to work with them at that point. If you're not seeing your EPS when you place it on the jpg try moving the EPS to the front (Arrange-> Order'> To front of page.)

 

Ok Splathead, done that and I have the EPS on top of the vector, but now can't get rid of the white rectangle around the design. I've googled it and most people say use the transparency tool, but I don't seem to have the wine glass symbol in my tool bar, and I've looked through all the options and still don't see it. I've tried to use the colour eyedropper tool in the 5x5 sample to try and get the background colour of the tshirt but it doesn't look good. The EPS file is just a black outline picture, so the white background isn't meant to be there. If that makes sense?

 

After importing the eps into Corel, click on it then from your menu go to Arrange -> Ungroup. Then click on the white background and hit the delete key. This should rid you of the background.

 

Sorry, didn't see you had uploaded the design too.

Here is your ape design without the white background.

This is how I did it which are the same instructions I gave you yesterday for doing an eps:

After importing the eps into Corel, click on it then from your menu go to Arrange -> Ungroup. Then click on the white background and hit the delete key. This should rid you of the background.

This is the final result after inporting the shirt into corel then placing the monkey on top.

If you don't want the white in the monkey, simply change the color to the shirt color (or any other color you want).

 

I do that but when I click on the white the rotate arrows appear, and then I press 'delete' and the whole EPS file disappears.

 

You wanna try to upload it here, or post a link to your dropbox, and we'll take a look at it?

 

*.eps files are not limited to vector objects, but can also contain bitmaps. Double check you image to ensure that it is indeed vector. Otherwise you may have nested groups and may need to continue ungrouping until you reach the background object.

Curious, if it is indeed a vector image, why would someone have grouped a white background rectangle?

Just noticed that it isn't an EPS file, it's a CDR file.

Actually, this is a jpg. I thought you were having issues with the design? Why did you upload shirt instead?

 

Theres a jpeg and the cdr file in there. The problem i'm having is I want to put the cdr file on top of the jpeg, and then remove the white background from the cdr file so only the monkey design shows on the tshirt.

 

The *.cdr file contains a vector image AND a *.jpg. Drag the top image (vector) off to the side. Select the *.jpg image below and delete. Ungroup the vector image, select the white background and delete. Now import your t-shirt and move to the back. Resize the vector image as necessary.

 

There is NO need to export as a *.png, and what you are talking about has nothing to do with the original post. He simply wanted to impose the graphic onto a *.jpg of a t-shirt. The graphic is a vector, so it is easily done by simply dragging the vector on top of the *.jpg. You are trying to promote this site, not appropriate here.

 

Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying. been away. thanks for all your help. have done what you said. It works for some EPS files I've got, can't get it working for some others but am working on it and getting to grips with it. Thanks again.
