Hey Everyone,
Excuse me for being a total noob, but I'm new to the Threadless community and I'm having a ton of trouble with uploading stuff. I don't know how people do it. I've looked over the submission kit, but i'm still confused as ever. Any tips??? Again sorry, but hopefully this will be a good helper for anyone else with the same issues.
THANKS!!!

preview is not what you want. you can dl free photoshop trial from the adobe website that lasts for 30 days. or there are other methods you can obtain it but I'm not the person to ask about that.

Yeah, what Steve said. You will need a true editor program. Preview (as far I know) is pretty much only for viewing. Free editors can be downloaded from the internet (Gimp is popular, tho I have not used it much).



If you have a fat piggy bank, you can also buy Adobe Photoshop or Corel Photo-Paint. Unfortunately, if you want your designs to be taken seriously, you will probably need one of these sooner or later.

yeah, use a felt point marker and just draw right onto your monitor.

then, in photohuas, activate the print screen option

and voila, you're tee shirt should be ready in about 10-15 minutes.

That really depends. Some of us are vector artists (but I don't think we are respected very much). That means we design using only/mainly the computer. But if you draw or paint, you might be much better off going that route. Once you have finished your artwork, you can scan it, or take it somewhere to have it scanned.
