How to Write on a Jacket in Photoshop
Customizing clothes by writing on them can be a way to stake claim to your favorite pieces, and express your creativity. But one wrong paint mark may have you relegating that item to the back of the closet. Instead, practice your designs in Adobe Photoshop. With Photoshop's paint tools, you're able to hand write on clothes such as jackets and test out designs, tags and slogans, with no risk of ruining the real thing.

Tips & Warnings
It's possible to use Photoshop's text tool, the "T" icon, to write on a jacket as well. Click the "T" on the "Tools" column, choose a font, color and size from the toolbar at the top of the screen, click the jacket and type. This doesn't result in nearly as realistic a look as if you hand write. The appearance will be one that is definitely more "Photoshopped."
