Open the can-mockup PSD, replace the placeholder artwork inside its Smart Object, save that content document, and return to the main template. Check the design around the can's curved edges, keep shadows and highlights intact, and export a separate presentation 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 can-mockup PSD
Open the extracted PSD and wait for the Layers panel to load. Read any included instructions, then locate the Smart Object that contains the label artwork. Do not edit the highlight, shadow, metal, or background layers as if they were the label.
4
Open the label content
Select the label Smart Object and choose Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents. Many mockups also open it when you double-click the Smart Object thumbnail. Photoshop should show the flat label artwork in a separate tab.
Place artwork you own and fit it to the full label canvas without stretching it. Keep logos and small text away from the left and right edges, where the can's curve may hide them. Hide the sample artwork after yours is positioned.
Save the Smart Object content and return to the main can mockup. The label should wrap around the can while the existing highlights and shadows remain visible. If it does not update, confirm that you edited the designated label Smart Object.

Check the mockup at 100%
Inspect the front, curved edges, top, highlights, and shadows. Confirm that the logo is centred and readable, no sample label remains, and important text is not distorted around the sides.
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 label looks stretched, undo the transform and scale from a corner while keeping the artwork's proportions.
If text disappears around the sides, move it toward the centre of the flat Smart Object canvas and save again.
If the can looks flat, restore the template's original highlight and shadow layers instead of adding contrast directly to the label artwork.
