LOL!
That's definitely ALOT more sophisticated than what i've been doing that's for SURE. LOL!
Although i'm just wondering if all of those steps are actually necessary?
Here are the objectives and goals:
1. Create a mock-up template with this new image
2. Achieve "realistic" look and feel with both white and colored versions of the template (i.e., light,shadows,lines and creases,etc.) that i can clone.
3.Be able to quickly go in and output several colors of the same template with different designs superimposed on top (separately of course...)

Ahhhh... so THIS is how you get the clean outer edges around the text? I gotta try that.
This was actually not intentional, but happened nonetheless. I was really trying to remove the white background that surrounded the blue t-shirt. By selecting only the blue color, it assured me that I would not have any of the white background to deal with.
The t-shirt is mostly blue, except the text that was white and the background, also white. When I selected the blue color of the t-shirt using the "Select by Color" tool. This selection didn't include the "white text", or anything else just the blue of the shirt. So when I inverted the selection, the areas that were not part of the "blue" selection, then became the selection once it was inverted. Which included the area outside the blue shirt and the white text. And this selection was then used to remove any unwanted pixels for the outside of the scaled up white t-shirt. So that it would fit the blue shirt exactly.
Do you get it?
