Documents order
Very important is the right sequence when you open the documents!
When I created the action, I made Photoshop to interact with the ile next
to the mock-up. The right sequence is:
MOCK-UP -> TEMPLATE
How to use the ile
Let’s start!
First of all, have a look of the template ile.
Move on template.psd and add your desidered design to the empty layers.
See a scheme of the right inclusion at the last page.
Please note the guidelines I already insert. Those rules determinate the
edge of the sheet and what is outside of them will be cut and trashed by the
action so be sure that in that area will be nothing you want to show! It is
extremely important if you are going to use side by side pages!
Now load in Photoshop the action I included in the source directory. Open
the panel if is not already showed up.
Move on the mock-up document and click the action called “Replace papers
+ deep of ield”.
Important!
- Do not modify the visibility of any layer.
- Before loading the action, all the layers MUST be deselected.
Once you have clicked the button, wait the end of the operation. Depending
on computer, it may take time.
The last passage makes a new layer called “Final” that is the whole mockup
provided of your design plus the deep of ield.
As you can notice, I also insert in the mock-up documents 4 guidelines. Try
to cut out the canvas following the lines and ind out the nice shot!
Well, we have inished! Hope you like this little project :)

FAQ
- I don’t like so much the lights and want to make a modiication,
how can I do that?
About the light, you can modify the layers called “Ambient occlusion” and
“Illumination” by operating on levels or curves. You can also change the
grainess by editing the layer “Grain”.
- Once I have replaced the papers, around the borders I can still
see some pixel of the lower layers. How can I remove them?
Well, there are a lot of methods to delete that pixels and one of them is to
simply use the deep of ield. It will shade the borders and make the image
more realistic but it you are not going to do that, let’s play with the size:
1) If you are going to send the inal document to your client or someone
else, I’m quite sure you will reduce the DPI. A 1080x720 pixel 72 DPI
document will absolutely ix the pixel problem.
2) Some time ago someone suggested me to expand the border of 1 pixel
after I have selected the card with alpha channel. I think it could work but
in this project, the card’s thinkess is really thin and adding one more pixel it
means to make it almost invisible and not to much real.
If you want to try this way, read the istruction about how to add further
passages to the actions on the bottom of this page.
3) What about the print? I made the mockup to the purpose of improve
your showcase or to realize a high quality exhibition for your client.
If you are still wondering how to remove the pixel without any further
manipulation, remove all doubt by printing the ile on a A4 sheet!
- I’d like to replace the white background with a new colour.
Is it possible?
Sure! Duplicate the background layer. Cmd+click or ctrl+click the alpha
channel called “set” and invert the selection. Then play : )
- Is it possibile to modify the action?
Of course you can! You may think to improve the action’s settings or to try
different kind of gradient to get the right effect. In that case, once you have
deleted the passage you want to change, press the record button (the one
with the red ball) make the modiication and than stop the registration by
pressing the stop button. Does it work?
If something goes wrong with the position, just select the passage you want
to move and drag and drop it in the new position.
