Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
in a garment design tool, creating a garment design by selecting a garment template and a damage asset, 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; and
in the garment design tool and prior to manufacturing the garment design, showing on a computer screen a computer-generated photorealistic preview image in color of the garment design as customized by a user with the garment template and the damage asset, wherein the computer-generated photorealistic preview image comprises a photorealistic visualization in color of the garment design after a computer simulation of an appearance of a garment as if the garment had been lased by a lasing process on the garment design and washed by a postlaser wash on the garment design after the lasing process, and the damage asset is created at least by
creating a damage shape in a single color for the damage asset;
using the laser on the fabric to create a lased fabric having a lased damage shape;
after washing of the lased fabric with the lased damage shape in the postlaser wash, capturing the digitally captured image of at least the lased damage shape on the fabric; and
using the digitally captured image of the lased damage shape as the damage asset in the computer-generated photorealistic preview image in color of the garment design.
