There’s a lot of confusion about how digital art can be made to look realistic. Here are 6 tips for creating perfect looking products in Photoshop.

1. ___Use The Smart Object Function Whenever Possible___

This is one of the easiest ways to make your product images look more professional and realistic. It allows you to do things like resize an image, add filters and effects, etc., all without losing any quality in the original layer. Simply duplicate the layer and convert it into a smart object by right clicking on the layer and selecting “Convert to Smart Object.” This will allow you to resize it, rotate it, or reposition it as needed without affecting the quality of the product design that was originally placed on that layer. If you then go onto edit that image by adding filters or effects, any changes that you make will be applied directly to the original layer so that any quality loss will only happen when you save the file as a jpeg or png.

2. ___Fill In The Gaps With Clipping Masks___

A clipping mask works in much the same way as a smart object in that it allows you to edit parts of an image while still allowing you to retain all of your original layers. The difference between clipping masks and smart objects is

There are many digital art tutorials out there, but not all of them are created equal. You’ll find some that are easy to follow, and others that require a lot of patience. In this article we’ll discuss 6 tips for creating products in Photoshop to help you create the perfect looking product, digitally.

TIP

Here are the most common mistakes that occur when we create the products in Photoshop:

1. Wrong product render settings

2. Overlay and blend mode mistake

3. Poor quality of the images on your product

4. Product color correction mistake

5. Background color/texture mistake

6. Using a wrong camera angle for the product shot

If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of time browsing websites looking at beautiful product images. You might even have tried your hand at creating a few yourself. But making a perfect product shot is hard. There’s always something that stands out as being off, no matter how hard you try. So I thought I’d share some of the tricks I’ve learned along the way to help you create better looking products in Photoshop.

TIP 1: BACKGROUNDS WITH TEXTURE AND RENDERING

When designing digital products, keeping background textures simple and adding realism to them can be very difficult. Products are usually photographed on plain white backgrounds, but if yours isn’t, here are a few tips for creating realistic-looking backgrounds with texture:

Use the layer style of “Gradient Overlay” to add shading to your background:

For extra points, use the gradient from one of your actual product images!

If you need more control over your background, use this trick to create a seamless repeat pattern:

Create a new layer with your chosen color as the foreground color and black as the background color (or vice versa). Select Filter > Render > Fibers and apply settings that add noise to your image. Then go to Filter > Blur

We are always working on our digital art skills. We understand that sometimes it can be hard to find the right product in Photoshop so we decided to share some tips with you.

The first tip is to never rely too much on the filter, it’s better if you take time to create a realistic effect. Another tip is that if you have a 3D computer model of your product, you should use it in your work and create something unique. If you don’t have 3D computer model, then don’t worry, because there are many ways to find one online.

If you want to add texture or pattern to your product, it’s best if you do it in several different layers. The last tip is that when you finish adding your textures and patterns, duplicate your product layer and set its mode to screen or multiply.*

The general rules of product photography are more or less the same for all products. Whether you are photographing a digital camera, pet food, clothing or accessories, your first task is to make sure that the customer can see what they are buying. They need to be able to see size and shape and texture, while avoiding any misleading “clutter” that might detract from the main product or confuse the viewer.

Do not include distracting elements like telephone directories, price stickers, store shelves or other objects in the background of your images. A simple white background is best as it means the customer can see exactly what they are buying without anything competing for their attention.

The aim is to create a clear message about what is on offer, so think carefully about how you use lighting and colour. A uniform colour scheme across a collection of similar products is one way to create continuity – blue packaging for an energy drink range, for example – but avoid using too many colours together as it will distract from the main item. The colours should also work in harmony with each other; if used sparingly they can add visual interest.

Photoshop allows us to do things that would not be possible in a conventional photo shoot such as turning a black square into a red rectangle by simply editing out the

I’ve seen a lot of Photoshop tutorials for creating product mockups. Most of them are for creating realistic-looking renders, but I wanted to know how to create something more stylized, with clean lines and dramatic lighting.
