    Where is the info for mugs on Redbubble in July, 2024? I'm just starting, and do not see how to put a design on front and back. When uploading designs, it shows 3 sections on mugs. But I see no way to choose both front and back, or even wrap-around.. Plus, Redbubble only shows 1 side, facing the person holding the mug, in the shop. It should show the whole mug, so customers know what the whole mug looks like. Your help would be much appreciated!

    Unfortunately, this is useless for Etsy listings. Much too small in resolution and AI generated mocks can get you in trouble if they don't accurately reflect the actual product.

  • @BrianAbelaYT
    @BrianAbelaYT11 күн бұрын

    Hey, thanks for your comment. Regarding the resolution don't forget that Recraft has an in-house upscaler which you one should always use after generating an image. In terms of getting an actual reflection of the product, well the platform has gotten better in the last few months and most likely will continue to improve. I've had success in generating images that are reflective, as you can see in the video, so I wouldn't discount this platform if I were you. 😊👍

    @@BrianAbelaYT Hi, after much research, I fixed the problem. I asked ChatGPT, and it suggested some potential issues. One of them was the layers. Here’s what it said: Check the Layers: Ensure that your mockup template includes all necessary layers and that your design is placed correctly within these layers. Sometimes the design layer might be placed above the mockup layer, causing the mockup to be hidden. When I downloaded the mockups, the resolution quality of my design is not good. How can I improve it? Thanks!!

Absolutley, this tech will only continue to get better and better, and it's fair to say that the same holds true for so many other platforms - that's why it is important that we stay on top of these technologies. As for the background removal tool, you bet, it is very good as well and that fact that it is 'in house' on the platform saves one the hassle of downloading and then visiting another website to remove the background. Continue enjoying the platform. Things can only continue to get better. :-)
