Copypasta'd for the billionth time:

Quote:Here's how I do stitching, for those of you who have Photoshop. I'll do it on a 2X template to better show the quality and to give you an idea of how the stitching is:

We're going to take this logo and "stitch" it to the jersey.

Before we make any changes, go to Image->Mode-> RGB Color. This is a GIF, and we want to be able to use all the colors available as opposed to 256.

Also, be sure to remove the white background from the logo itself. Use the Magic Wand tool (W), and make sure the settings up top have Contiguous unchecked. Click on the white background and press delete to remove the white background from the image. You should have a transparent Indians script logo.

Now, what I do is split the colors on the uniform into different layers, from Blue down to red.

From here, right click on the red layer in that toolbox, in this case it's layer 2 and go to Blending Options. This is where we start to fidget.

These are my settings to get the right stitching effect. It isn't quite a one size fits all for every logo, but you can adjust accordingly to achieve the desired effect. For solid colored logos, I often don't add the stitching effect but I give it a raised sort of look:

This pattern is changeable to either the scan-line texture, black diagonals, or on dark colors, white diagonals. Adjust opacity for desired effect.

Now, what I do is copy this same style and paste it to the other layers, however I edit a few things on Image 3 up top so the stitching is different for each layer

Now, layer 1 in this case is the grey trimming. Layer 2 which is the red should always be on top of layer 1. Layer 3 should be the dominant layer as it is the blue trim. Confusing, but it gets the point across.

Now, you don't want to merge everything just yet, because we have not pasted this onto the jersey. Select the blue trimming first (Layer 3), and right click on the layer. Select copy layer style, as this is what you'll need to do to get the stitching back. When you copy and paste it will show up with no stitching effect, and you will need to paste the layer style again, this is why I said to copy the layer style.

Now, since by now you should have my uniform template in a folder somewhere, so what you need to do is open up JERS.psd and click on the Script layer, because we don't want the script to be behind the jersey or anything like that. Now, paste the blue trim.

You'll get something like this, but this is where you resize. Go to edit-> Free Transform and make sure the Width and Height is in proportion. There will be an icon that you will have to click to keep the resizing in proportion, or if you are lazy like I am, you hold shift while you resize.

Resize the image to 34% and try to align the D in INDIANS where the jersey flap is. Sweet. You should get this upon resizing:

Now, paste the layer style onto the blue trimming. great.

Now, repeat the same technique for the grey and red parts of the script.

That should be it, really, unless there was something I missed.
