Claim 25:
26. A method comprising:
providing a garment previewing tool that allows previewing on a touch screen of a garment base customized by a user with a wear pattern, wherein the garment previewing tool includes
providing an option for the user to select the garment base via the touch screen and upon the user's selection, showing a first garment preview image on the touch screen comprising a jeans base image for the selected garment base,
providing an option for the user to select a wear pattern via the touch screen, wherein a wear pattern is associated with a laser input file to be used by a laser to produce that wear pattern onto a jeans garment,
after the wear pattern is selected, showing a second garment preview image on the touch screen comprising the selected wear pattern in combination with the jeans base image,
showing a third garment preview image on the touch screen comprising the jeans base image and selected wear pattern;
determining a correction to the selected wear pattern of the third garment preview image to obtain a corrected wear pattern, wherein the corrected wear pattern approximates how the selected wear pattern is to be modified to appear on a three-dimensional surface;
using a structured light technique to determine contours of the three-dimensional surface; and
after using the structured light technique, using an image projector to project onto the three-dimensional surface the corrected wear pattern.
