Claim 12:
13. A method comprising:
using a garment design tool, allowing a user to create a garment design by selecting a damage asset before the garment design is manufactured using a laser, wherein the damage asset comprises a digitally captured image of at least one of a hole, an emerging hole, or a rip created by at least a laser on a fabric to digitally represent the fabric having the at least one of the hole, the emerging hole, or the rip;
prior to manufacturing the garment design, showing the damage asset on a computer screen to the user using a previously captured image of the fabric, the damage asset created by the laser on the fabric, creating the damage asset by the laser comprising:
forming a damage shape in a single color;
using the laser on the fabric to create a lased fabric having a lased damage shape;
after washing the lased fabric with the lased damage shape in a postlaser wash, capturing the digitally captured image of the lased damage shape on the lased fabric; and
using the digitally captured image of the lased damage shape as the previously captured image; and
after the damage asset is selected, allowing the user to alter a position of the damage asset, wherein as the user adjusts the position of the damage asset into an adjusted position, the adjusted position of the damage asset is displayed on the computer screen in real time.
