I created my images using Kittl, after image generation select upscale, then remove the background. All this can be done in kittl without messing with the design. Save the design, then go to DPI Converter - Change DPI of Image Online, Instantly to transfer the image to 300 DPI. Save the image, replacing the original design to avoid confusion. Let's see how it looks on shirts. I don't rely on AI to tell me how the designs going look, instead I go straight to Print on Demand service Printiy to see how they going to look on different color shirts
The shirt I created with quote "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" does not show well on dark colors, it only shows well on light colors. The light colors are White, Sport Grey, Natural, & Light Blue.
Now going ask CHATGPT to create a Professional Etsy Mockup, with the shirt graphics in the four light colors that will print well with POD.
