Is there a way to add type to photos of t-shirts and making it seem real? Like making the type follow the angle and bumps of the surface.

 <http://www.mistershape.com/blog/images/dnabig.jpg>

I was hoping there'd be an easier way out than having to exactly model the t-shirt in some 3D application, render just the type and then superimpose it on top of the real photo. I could just get the t-shirt printed and then take real photographs of it, but I can't quite afford that yet.

So is there a way to do this using Adobe products?

Note: I posted this in a couple of different forums, I hope y'all don't mind.

Actually, that's not considered cool. ;) However, it's not a Typography question at all. :/

Perhaps not what you want but take a look at

<http://idisk.mac.com/taliesinsoft-Public/Mockup/Charcoal%20Front.pdf>

where I downloaded a t-shirt image from the web, covered the original artwork 
on the t-shirt by cutting and pasting sections of the non-artwork and then 
pasting a .jpeg of my own artwork.

If you feel the different forums are relevant there is nothing wrong with 
that.

Redd,

As Ram�n says. You should be posting this just in Photoshop. But note that for the least work and most realistic appearance, you may well be best off preparing a real shirt as you want it and photographing it.
