CHANGE CONTENTS

to modify the content of a mockup remember to always intervene on the "edi-


tion" folder, that is the one marked by the red color. When editing a con-
tent you have two possibilities, paste your design or use the custom templa-
te included in the various PSD.

Note* For this tutorial i am gonna using the 5.psd file inside the 2,5x3,5

1 Double click on the square thumbnail next to the layer name

2 If a pop-up opens, click yes. A new document will open.

Double click the


thumbnail of the layer
you wish to edit.
3 The kit you purchased has an editable template included, so
at this point you can decide whether to use the template and
modify it to your liking, or insert your own image.

4 To act on the included template, just check the "Edition" folder.


Inside the "Edition" folder you will find two layers, each one includes
its respective effects (embossed and debossed). If you decide to use this
template, double click on each of the two layers and edit the text as
you like, then click on ctrl+s (cmd+s on mac) to save. Remember to install
the fonts included in the font list that you will find in the HELP folder.
5 To insert your screen, make sure the eye in the Edition (template) folder is
deselected. After that drag and drop your image from your computer.

6 Click on File > Save or cmd+s (ctrl on win), then close the file

If you have followed everything step by step, the mockup will be updated
with the new information. Conversely, make sure you've followed everything
to the letter. Take also a look to the video list at the end of the page.
