1. A method comprising:
providing a garment design tool that allows previewing on a computer screen of a garment base customized by a user with a finishing pattern;
in the garment design tool, showing a first garment preview image on the computer screen comprising a garment base image for a garment base;
providing an option for the user to select a wear pattern from a plurality of wear patterns, wherein each wear pattern is associated with a laser input file to be used by a laser to produce that wear pattern onto a garment;
after the wear pattern is selected, determining a first bounded area within the garment base image where the wear pattern may be placed;
showing a second garment preview image on the computer screen comprising the selected wear pattern within the first bounded area in combination with the garment base image, wherein the second garment preview image replaces the first garment preview image;
allowing the user to select the wear pattern and modify a position of the wear pattern relative to the garment base image only within the first bounded area; and
after the user modifies a positioning of the selected wear pattern relative to the garment base image within the first bounded area, showing a third garment preview image on the computer screen comprising the selected wear pattern in combination with the garment base image and the modified positioning of the wear pattern relative to the garment base image, wherein the third garment preview image replaces the second garment preview image.
