Hi, I am transposing images on to photos of shirts. A sweatshirt picture I have has two strings down the front. I need the mockup picture to sit in front of the shirt but behind the strings.

I understand layers, etc. but am a beginner for sure. I would guess make a duplicate layer and have the image sit in between. Its getting everything out of the last layer but the strings I have an issue with.

Any help is appreciated and thank you.

I am really enjoying the program.

i get what you mean

it depends on the picture

if its a good photo, you could render the strings, cut them out and put them on a new layer, so that the strings overlap the picture

it would help if you post the pictures

Have a look here.

I appreciate it. Yes I did try the paths tool on a new layer. I think I am close but the problem I am having is when I try and invert and delete the crop the function works differently than if there was just a single layer. I will keep trying. I think the paths tool is the way to go. Thanks again.

as i said, post a picture of the hoodie (or whatever it is), im sure i could give you much better advice

real quick example of what you could do
open shirt and picture you want on it
make sure they have alpha channels
turn down the opacity of the picture (wilber) so you can see the strings
and erase where the strings are, turn opacity back up

^^ where can i order that shirt ?

Perfect. I appreciate it. I like the shirt as well.....

Tux - You reading this? Here's a whole new market for you cuz I want that Gimp shirt too, and a Gimp coffee mug, and a Gimp baseball cap, and a Gimp carry-all bag and a .....etc., etc.,...... Get the picture?

Failing that, anyone interested in having a GIMP t-shirt (or whatever) made, all ya gotta do is provide the artwork and these guys can fix you up.
