Prepare a two-slot apparel PSD
Use clear, consistent layer names and confirm that both artwork areas are smartobjects. Keep the front and back target order consistent across the PSD collection if you plan to use sequence-based replacement.
Pair front and back artwork files
Multiple-smartobject mode can assign consecutive artwork files to smartobjects in stacking order. CSV mode gives more explicit control by mapping front_art and back_art columns to matching layer names for each output row.
Handle colors, products, and missing pairs
Different rows can select different shirt templates or colors. Validate missing artwork, extra targets, and filename mismatches before the main run. A controlled sample makes ordering problems visible while they are still easy to fix.
Export coordinated apparel listing images
Use naming rules that include product, color, design, and view. Export web-ready files for listings and PSD files when your team needs editable results.
