This is for those that have access to Adobe Photoshop but not know how to use it for Bagstab purposes.

1> Download the bag template from http://www.bagstab.net/index.php/design/template pick a bag and download the .psd (Photoshop’s format) version.
Open it with your photoshop and there you will see a window on the right showing the layers window and in the edit window the bag with some notes on it.

2>  After reading the info (first layer) on the edit window, click on the eye next to “info” layer in the layer window which hides it.

3>  Then after reading the “Decline info” hide it as well.

4>  Now you should have just the bag visible in the edit window. Click on the icon 2nd from the right at the bottom of the layers window “Create new layer”. This creates a new layer for you to place your art on. Be sure that the new layer is above the “bag” layer. If not, in the layer window click on the new layer and drag it up above the bag layer.

5>  Now you can open (File>Open) your art in Photoshop.

6>  Crop (press ‘c’ key) the art to just the art and from the layer window drag the art to the opened template file. You can also select all (control or command and ‘a’ key) in the art file then copy (control or command and ‘c’ key) and then in the template file select the layer you created and paste it on the template file (control or command and ‘v’ key).

7>  After doing all necessary edits to your hearts content, save the file as a .psd file.

8>  Then save again with “save as” but select it to be jpeg format and now you have “yourdesign.jpg”

9>  Now you can go to http://www.bagstab.net/index.php/design/submit and follow the instructions.


This should get you through. If you still need help, I will need to know where specifically you need help at.
