Hii Im making custom nikes in photoshop and im fine with the colour and everything but its adding the image I cant do :( I was wondering if you could tell me how :) thankss
I will gladly try to help. Basically I usually just play around with blending properties (overlay, screen, etc.) and see what works for the image, and if that doesn't work I just play with the Opacity. Message me back and let me know if this was any help!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to photoshop lol :( so I'm not quite sure. Like I can get an image onto the shoe but if I try to use a PNG a background still appears, like a white block covering whats underneath it I cant just seem to get the part of the image I want onto the shoe and if I do it still covers up the shoe (thats where im guessing opacity comes in.
If you want to do an image, say just on the Swoosh on the side of the shoe, with the image layer selected you would hold down COMMAND (on Mac, i think its just ALT on PC) and click on the little image in your layers box of the swoosh layer (the thumbnail beside the layer title)

This should give you a selection on your image layer shaped like the Swoosh layer. Next choose SELECT>INVERSE and it will select all of the image layer that is NOT the swoosh, hit delete to get rid of it and then play with your blending properties and opacity.

If you want an image to be on multiple parts of the shoe (like on my Louis Vuitton ones) you do the same thing but with duplicates of the image layer (one for each section of the shoe you want the image on) and repeat those steps for each duplicate.
