White Artwork on a T-shirt

[sarahl23437585]

Still really new to photoshop and was trying to figure out the multiply blending mode. I usually use the multiply blend mode for putting artwork on t-shirt mock ups but obviously for white artwork, it doesn't work. How would I put white artwork on a t-shirt mock up with the same highlights/shadows like with the multiply blend mode?

Try another blending mode like Overlay or Color.

What do you want to achieve with the blending mode? Do you want the color of the T-shirt to shine through the white artwork in some way? If not, it's probably better not to use a blending mode.

Not really for the color of the t-shirt to shine through but the make sure the creases/shadows show in the design too so it will look more realistic.

What color is the T-shirt?

The white artwork would need to be a shade darker than a white t-shirt.

You could use a layer adjustment such as levels and change the output level for the highlights. Clip this adjustment to the artwork layer. (Cmd + Opt+G)

This would require that the artwork be on a transparent layer or you will end up darkening the background white.

The Blend if option Eugenio mentions looks like a good solution. You can find it under the Layers Styles!

I'm guessing it is not your artwork, or you'd have created it with a transparent background removing the problem.

Can you recreate the artwork with a transparent background?

Does it have to be a specific piece of artwork?  If you are looking for a general type of artwork, then add 'Transparent PNG' to the search criteria can find exactly that.  I do this a lot when looking for elements for a montage/composite.

People are all pretty much guessing, because you have given limited information.  Show us the artwork and the t-shirt and you'll get way better answers.  Blend-if will probably do for a t-shirt, but I hate it for high res quality design, as it tends to leave nasty artefacts and fringes even if you split the sliders with the Alt/Opt key.  It's a last resort in my book.

To make sure the creases and folds show and the artwork appears like it has the same characteristics using a displacement map.

Here's how that can be done:
