Does anyone have a Template on tank top straps or any straps?

Hello Everyone,

I have the Chip's Templates and have tried many, many times to produce a shirt with cute Spaghetti and criss cross straps. But sadly they just won't match up on the final product. Unfortunately, the pre-upload window doesn’t allow you to see if the straps are inline so I ended up spending a small fortune. So, if anyone out there has any straps templates that they are willing to share; please may I have a copy? If you would prefer not to share them, I will understand and would like to thank you anyway.

Thank you in advance…

The preview window WILL let you see your straps if they line up..

Hold CTRL down and click and drag to spin the model around. Dragging to the left or right will turn the model around - but dragging down will let you look down on the shoulders. If you want to PAN (not rotate, but shift it down or up or over) just CTRL+SHIFT Click & drag.

Hope that helps, at least a little.

pre upload??? what???

Not pre-upload. The preview window.

When you upload, you see that window with a flat image of the file you want to upload. I missed it, too, until someone pointed it out to me, but just above the image, there's a line that says, "Preview image as" and a gray box that says, "Image."

That's a drop down menu. Just click on it, and you can choose from a list of preview types - Female head, female upper body, female lower body, male head, etc.

All you have to do is choose which one you intend to use the image on, and you'll see it wrapped on a generic bodypart (or skirt.) Then, as Nikki said, all you need to do is use the camera tools, exactly like you would in the main window, to see all sides of the bodypart, zoom in and out, and otherwise check the thing to make sure it's what you want before you go ahead and click "Upload."

If seams and straps don't match, click "Cancel," and you can save a small fortune!

(edited to remove typo.)

Thank you Nikki and Robin, I will use your advice to try to create straps. Now I have another question. lol First, i'm a serious visual learner and I have been trying really hard to understand how to create an alpha channel, but I must admit i'm really lost.

If you or anyone knows how to create an alpha channel, please can you post a STEP by STEP tutorial or instructions? Again, Thank you for all of your helpl

I just answered this in a different post; but just in case, I have a video tutorial using Photoshop CS2 on my site here.

And Cristiano Midnight has one about PSP that you can find in this thread.

I hope to be adding more soon, that deal specifically with clothing. Probably later this week.

Thanks Robin, that helps a lot! I too learn better by visuals and have been struggling over written tutorials on this for months. Thanks so much

You are most welcome, Lyric!

Glad you found them helpful.

Thank you Robin. I used your advice and I was soooooo Pleased with the out come of the straps!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! And your tuturial is really good. I was using CS but went back to 7.0 because CS was diving me nuts. lol Anyway, You are AWESOME!!! Thanks

Now another question. lol I want to try to make a shirt or top that has a tailor look to it in the breast area. When I try, it just doesnt look right and it doesnt line up right in that area either. Somthing like a corset that is cut nicely across the breast area in a sexy way. I have tried repeatedly but it just doenst look good at all. ; :*( Do you have any suggestions or a tutorilal on how to make a sexy top? Or anyone else? Again, thank you for all of your help.

I've been working on this very thing, myself. I haven't been able to find any detailed tutorials around the web on this, but you can come kind of close by searching for Poser tutorials (concepts are very similar).

Mostly I've gone the trial and error route. I pasted a jeans texture over the template yesterday and it took me about 5 tries to finally get the seams to come out right. But now I know what to do
