Open the hologram-effect PSD, replace the placeholder inside its Smart Object, save that content document, and return to the main template. Check that the subject remains visible through the glow and colour treatment, then save a layered master and export a separate image.
Use the exact template shown in the video, or a compatible layered PSD that clearly identifies the editable Smart Object. If you download an Envato item, register it to the intended project and keep its license record. The optional original template link appears in the sponsored-resource box on this page.
Open the downloaded ZIP file with Extract All in Windows or by double-clicking it in macOS. Keep the PSD, instructions, font information, linked files, and preview images together. Make a copy of the extracted folder before editing.

Open the hologram PSD
Open the effect file and wait for Photoshop to load every layer. In Window > Layers, find the Smart Object identified by the template as the placeholder or image source. Do not replace a glow, scan-line, or colour layer by mistake.
4
Open the placeholder content
Select the image Smart Object and choose Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents. If the template instructions call for a direct swap, use Replace Contents instead. The first method opens a separate tab; the second replaces the source while keeping the template's transforms.
Add an image you are allowed to use. Scale it proportionally so the subject fills the required content canvas, then confirm the placement. Hide the original placeholder layer when it remains visible beneath your image.
Use File > Save in the Smart Object content tab, then return to the main PSD. Wait for the hologram treatment to update. Keep the template's glow, colour, and scan-line layers separate so you can adjust them later.
7
Balance the effect
Inspect the face or main subject at 100% zoom. Reduce the opacity of a labelled effect layer when it hides important details, or adjust the supplied colour layer when the subject and background blend together. Do not erase the only copy of your image.
8
Save a master file and export a copy
Save the layered Photoshop document under a new name so the original template stays available. Export a separate PNG when you need transparency or a JPEG for an opaque image. Open the exported file and check its size, cropping, spelling, colour, and image quality before using it.
If the sample image remains, reopen the image Smart Object and hide or remove the placeholder inside that content document before saving.
If the subject is too faint, check the opacity of the effect and colour layers and the contrast of the source image. Keep the original source layer available.
If Photoshop becomes slow, wait for the Smart Object to update and close other large documents before simplifying or rasterizing any template layer.
