Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the background color?

Yes. The background is placed on an isolated layer. You can easily change the color fill or replace it with your own custom backdrop or studio setting.

Do I need Photoshop 3D features enabled?

No. This template relies solely on 2D Smart Objects with perspective distortion and layer blending modes, meaning it runs smoothly on any system without requiring Photoshop’s legacy 3D engine.
