The exact T-shirt mockup linked by the original video is currently unavailable on Envato. If you already have that PSD, expand Design, open the default-logo Smart Object, replace it with your artwork, save the content document, and return to the shirt mockup. Otherwise, use these steps only with a licensed PSD whose instructions identify the editable design layer.
Continue only if you already downloaded the template shown in the video or have a licensed T-shirt PSD with an editable design Smart Object. The original Envato item returned an unavailable page during this review, so a different mockup may use different layers and print areas.

Keep the complete template folder
Extract the complete ZIP and keep its PSD, instructions, linked files, fonts, and previews together. Make a working copy before editing. Do not use an unknown download that promises the same file without a clear licence.
3
Open the PSD and expand Design
Open the working copy and inspect Window > Layers. In the recorded template, expand the Design folder and find the layer containing the default logo. In another mockup, use the layer identified by its own instructions.
4
Open the design Smart Object
Select the default-logo Smart Object and choose Layer > Smart Objects > Edit Contents, or double-click its thumbnail. Photoshop should open the flat shirt-design content in a separate tab.
Place artwork you own, scale it proportionally, and position it inside the printable area. Keep important details away from the canvas edges, hide the sample logo, and save the Smart Object content.
Return to the main mockup and inspect the artwork at 100% zoom. Check its position, scale, fabric folds, shadows, highlights, and contrast against the shirt colour. Make corrections inside the Smart Object rather than painting over the shirt.
7
Prepare the correct deliverable
Save the layered mockup under a new name and export a JPEG or PNG for presentation. If the artwork will be printed, also create the separate print file required by the printer. A screenshot of the mockup is not a print-ready production file.
If you do not have the original or another clearly documented licensed mockup, stop. Layer names and printable areas are not interchangeable between products.
If the design looks stretched, undo the transform and resize from a corner while keeping its proportions.
If the printer rejects the artwork, follow the printer's dimensions, colour, transparency, and file-format requirements. Do not send the mockup presentation image as the print file.
ⓘ Sources and verification
Checked against official documentation on . Scope: Adobe Photoshop on Windows or macOS.
The original template link returned an unavailable Envato item during review. Adobe documents the current Smart Object, placement, and export controls used here. Continue only with an already-owned or clearly documented compatible PSD.
